We needed to draft a RB in R1, but we also needed to draft a DL even more...

I'm going to take you to task on this statement. The Saints drafted a RB #2 just 2 years ago. Their RB corps is productive all the way down to the 4th string guy. Deuce, Reggie, and Stecker all being hurt at the same time was a fluke, not an expectation.

With all the needs this team has, and the fact that the Saints offense has been in the top 5 offenses in the league for the past 2 years simply does not point to the need for a first round draft pick at RB.

If you haven't noticed, the engine of the Saints offense is Drew Brees. The running game is a complement, not a primary motivator.

I totally disagree that the Saints needed a first round draft pick at RB.

Ya'll have this man crush on Deuce as if he carries the offense. Let me clue you into his stat line for 2006, when the Saints were the #1 offense in the league:

244 rushes, 1057 yards, 4.3 YPC

Dude, that's not even a pro bowl season, much less a man crush one.

The bottom line is that the Saints offense needs a productive running game. All the explosiveness will come from the passing game.

	Super Bowl Championships: New Orleans Saints:1, Carolina:0, Atlanta Chokers: STILL ZERO Only Atlanta choked in an unchokable situation... Life is definitely good.
