Saints Draft

Pierre Thomas, Chris Ivory. We can find good RB's without spending high picks. Stay that course. Supplement with FA. The days of one back bell cows are gone.

But the days of RB's who can stay on the field are certainly not gone. How about a guy who can take hits?

Yeah we need a stud RB that doesn't get hurt every other play. I bet Ingram is long gone. Outside chance of Ryan Williams but I think that Mikel Leshoure could be the best back in the draft.

Doubt Ingram makes it to 24 too.

Lesoure is the power/speed RB the Saints need: #24, anyone???

According to ESPN, Illinois junior running back Mikel Leshoure is holding a news conference at 11 a.m. tomorrow to announce he's entering the draft.

Leshoure had a breakout 2010 season, rushing for 1,697 yards and 17 touchdowns on 281 attempts. He enters the draft as the premier power/speed combo back and could go as high as the end of the first round.

He ran for 120 yards or more in his last five games of the season, including an eye-popping 330 against Northwestern on Nov. 20.

I like Delone Carter of Syracuse - maybe lower-miles than some of the other runningbacks and on the upswing. Easy to scout too as Doug Marrone is his coach.

Draft Demarco Murray, if hes there, but we do need to address OLB, DE and DT.
Sign Deangelo Williams loomis, get it done!!

YouTube - Illinois RB Mikel LeShoure 2009 Highlights 6.8 ypc

Kid looks decent, looks like a straight ahead guy that can bounce to the outside if need be, but first priority to him lies north and south.
Good speed for his size

Well, hopefully that changes. We have a window to keep going to the playoffs with our core team, our core team is awesome. We need to get the right pieces for a Super Bowl run NEXT YEAR.

We need O-Line, we need an OLB, we need D-Line, we need a RB that can both take and dish out a pounding, and if we can find a REALLY fast guy with REALLY good hands, jump on it.
