RUMOR: Saints Targeting Illinois RB Rashard Mendenhall?

I won't be surprised if he's good. But what good will that do us?

A) our very good offense gets a touch better - and we score an extra ten points per game
B) our positively rotten defense takes the field again, and gives up a touchdown everytime the other team throws a pass

Looks like we still lose in that scenario to me. I say use that pick on defensive talent.

Err... if the Saints score another 10 points per game... look out. Don't forget that we picked up 3 players on defense and we still have the draft. Everything wasn't perfect with the offense in 2007 and anybody that thinks we should just stay pat, doesn't know our coach very well.
