Loomis on the prospect of drafting Ingram
Saints GM Mickey Loomis said Tuesday that his front office would "have that conversation" if Alabama RB Mark Ingram drops to No. 24 overall.
Ingram is the No. 1 running back on the Saints' draft board, though Loomis also admitted that "the front seven on defense and helping the pass rush" is the team's biggest need area. Loomis might give the Patriots cause for pause with Ingram, though we're skeptical that he'd pull the trigger on a back in the first round.

Neaux, Neaux, Neaux...
Round 1 picks should never be used on a RB that, at best, have a 7-8 year shelf life on'em... |

Ingram on the other hand, as long as he stays healthy he's going to have an impact from the start.
