Deja Vu
this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Like Wilson's size; had hoped Mason Foster would make it to us... Still disappointed in drafting Another cornerback when we could have had Quinton Carter out of OU who could play now at either the nickel or dime and transitioned ...

Like Wilson's size; had hoped Mason Foster would make it to us...
Still disappointed in drafting Another cornerback when we could have had Quinton Carter out of OU who could play now at either the nickel or dime and transitioned to Safety with Jenkins... It's not that I don't like Ingram; I just don't believe you get enough shelf life with a R1 pick using it on a RB; but I am a Saints fan and he's now a Saint... I wanted Clay Matthews and got Malcolm Jenkins; Matthews has showed to be the better player thus far, but Jenkins was definitely balling at times last year and will get better...I may even get me a Jenkins Jersey... Would like to have gotten Barksdale out of LSU to replace the Stinch at Right Tackle; but a cornerback when there were better young safeties who could cover for a couple of years would have been better... |

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Ingram is not Reggie Bush. Reggie's career was based of finesse and shaking the hell out of people. In the NFL, that's a risk to base your drafting on. Ingram runs people over. Way more stable of a chance to succeed.

But if in those five years we get another superbowl... it will be well worth a first pick. Also most all RB only last 5 years, unless they are very good. Who knows Ingrim may turn into one of the top RB.

After his 1st contract is up he can leave for more money, or the team can try to find someone else of equal value. We only got 5-1/2 good years out of Deuce and thats fine with me. |
