I always really liked Paul Posluszny even thou he has had his share of injuries. The guy hits like a Mack-Tuck. I'd take good ol' Ricky W back any day. He is still on of my alltime favourite Saints.

Ngata! No way he leaves Baltimore and he'd be really expensive, but worth every penny. Maybe the guy we should have taken at 2 in '06.

It was brought up in another thread, but I'd take a good look at Ricky Williams. Really.

How about LeRon McClain from the Ravens?

Big powerful FB/RB with some good run skills. His stats suffer from basically getting a lot of short yard work.

I've read he wants to be used on offense more. We can accomodate.

Kinda like a poor man's Jerome Bettis (Pittsburgh era).

Impending unrestricted free agent Le'Ron McClain said Monday that he doubts he'll be back with the Ravens.

After Saturday's loss, McClain said that he would consider coming back to Baltimore if he would be part of the offense. Now he seems to think the Ravens don't even want him back. "I'm over that hump now. Four great years in Baltimore," the fullback said. McClain has been outspoken regarding his desire for carries.

His lack of effort in pass protection skills would be a killer with Payton and the Saints...
