Re: Pierre = Real Deal?
I think Pierre Thomas has at least earned the right to the oppurtunity to start. Drafting a RB in the first round of a draft extremely deep at the position would be a mistake in my eyes.

Re: Pierre = Real Deal?
We'll see just how much faith the coaching staff and FO have in PT by the way we draft. If they are truly sold on him then I don't think we draft a RB at all or at least not on the first day. No one can predict how the draft will go but it's safe to say that we will have some very good RB prospects staring at us in the second round. With the posistion being so deep this year I think teams will pass on some good RBs thinking they can pick up one later. That means that a few RBs will drop and not be drafted as high as they would if the talent pool was more shallow. So having said all that I think that if the staff and FO have any doubts about PT they will jump on one of the solid RBs that should be on the board. If they don't then that means they are confident with their depth.

Re: Pierre = Real Deal?
Ok so where on the Saints roster do they have a TRUE #1 RB?
Duece? Not anymore. It won't happen. He should retire. Stecker? No Bush? Not Really Thomas? ??????????? We all hope that the kid turns out to be the next Tony Dorsett but it isn't likely. My problem is that I don't think he can hold up the whole season and I'm sure the other Bozos are ready to carry the full load. |

Re: Pierre = Real Deal?
No I do not like the pick myself I think media hype has knocked him into the top 20. Like QB, WR, CB and S the quality is not there this year in round 1. The glamor positions are not that great.
