Mark Ingram to visit Saints on wednesday

Miami is the only team I could see grabbing him before we would get the opportunity. QB is a big need for them, but at 15 Newton and Gabbert would be gone and I dont see Locker going that high.

Word is Riveria is not sold on getting a QB with the first pick and I don't blame him. Neither one of those QBs are worth it. I know it's not entirely up to him, but if that happens Miami may get their QB and Ingram's chances of falling to the Saints drastically improve.

They had me after Emmitt...

I would not hesitate to take him in the second... but he just isn't for me in the first round. I just can't wrap my head around this selection no matter which angle I look at it. =/

+1..since we signed PT..probably will have Bush and all the faith i have in Ivory...i want D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our defense outshined our offense last year and I personally have zero faith that Ivory can stay healthy since he hasn't for 5 straight years and I think its pretty clear now that Bush isn't a running back.

We have Pierre Thomas and no one else, and even PT has a few question marks.

I agree with Danno. Ingram is a no brainer. We can get defense in the later rounds and FAcy.

we don't have a RB that can play more than 10 games. We need a RB.

While I don't think it's 100% given that we bring Bush back, both sides seem to want to get a deal worked out. I do think they'll get something done and he'll be in a Saints uni next year if we have a season. With that said...

Would you (this is to everyone not just Danno) still be in favor of selecting Ingram with our first round pick knowing that Bush, PT, and Ivory are all on the roster for the next few years?

Absolutely. Ivory hasn't proved anything other than he runs really hard and has gotten hurt in every game he's ever played in.

Bush isn't a RB, but a decent change of pace scat back.

PT is a pretty solid RB.

Let's look at our RB situation....

Bush can't finish a run much less a season.
Ivory injury history goes back to college.
PT's injury may have been a fluke last year.

Answer this question... are any of the RBs tradable? Didn't think so.
Adding Ingram to this group is a no brainer.

Ingram makes every player on the offense better.
A healthy running game keeps the defense off the field.
We would have never won the SB without a healthy PT & Bush.
You can never have enough RBs. Last year proved that.

I'd love a DL or LB but are we going to pass on Eddie George for Alex Molden again?

I bet if we don't take him, the Pats aren't stupid to pass on him.
