He is a poor mans Reggie Bush, so basically, he will be a back up for years to come unless he shows something and we can trade him to a team needing a back. I don't understand any of the picks except the first. Kent State, Akron, Towson State and Wingate? Come on, I think Payton's ego in regards to coaching up small school picks went a little overboard. Don't you?

No, what I notice is that he is taking players that are SIMILAR to the players he has. We have all these special plays made up for REGGIE, not Generic Running Back #052, so who better to plug in if Reggie breaks and ankle than Reggie-Lite. INSTEAD of re-writing half the play book in mid-season we Plug in a unique player who can at least Sub, if not replace, another unique player. That isn't ego, that is genius.

A QB that is smart and mobile, not the biggest arm, not the tallest... Am I talking about Brees or the new Undrafted FA QB we just signed? The answer is "Yes". Starting to get the idea?
