Stecker was not very effective in a back-up role. Plus Deuce is in his 7th year and has taken ALOT of punishment(being a BIG back). Pittman was probably the BPA. If Deuce were to go down, do you think Reggie could carry the ball 25+ times a game??? I don't think Sean wants to be forced to used Reggie in the role.

3 out of first 4 picks are for offense
I guess nobody in the Saints War Room is worried about an aging D-Line or depth at LB Can't figure this one out AT ALL!!! |

On the positive side:
-he gives us insurance on Bush and Deuce this year -he'll be a backup to Reggie once Deuce is gone -probably the end for Stecker and Lewis, if Pittman can return kicks On the negative: Did we currently really need any of these things? |

can't keep McAfee forever
Pitt's a guy who comes in and solidifies our back up position. Guys like Stecker, Fast Freddie and Jamaal Branch need to get better or get gone

It was a great value pick. We can now run Pittman out there and not experience a great dropoff in production. Stecker is probably out. Plus I hear he is a great return man, so Michael Lewis is probably out as well.
