He needed a wake-up call, which the Saints' coaching staff were for some reason unable to provide when he was still with the team.

Again, it took cutting him to do that. He would not have done that if he did not get cut.

He finally had to coach himself.*

We definitely need a big, physical defensive back...

We could also use another big man in the middle to pair with Jenkins...

But Wide Receiver and Tight End have to be serious considerations in this draft...

I am getting less and less wanting a DT at 12. There are some really nice DT picks round 2 on so now I am thinking it would be wiser to look at another position.

WR is a area of need but I am not ruling out RB either. Ezekiel Elliott may not be a top ten talent but the way he perfectly fits the saints offense. His skill set is everything SP wants out of a back. At 12 gotta consider him. Ingram and Ezekiel would make a nice rotation. Heck Ingram may stay healthy all year.

I don't want Ingram to have to deal with more timeshares, he already has to with Spiller. I think Elliot should stay on the bench until Ingram gets hurt if we were to draft him. Elliot could be a volume back given he was that at OSU.

We do not have a back up plan for Ingram. the Eliot pick would offer us one in a couple of years if Ingram continues his IR ways. Right now cutting Ingram free still would not bother me in the least. I am not a huge fan. His production and injury history put him as a mid to late round draft pick value which I fear in a couple of years will not be worth the 6 million we will be paying him.

Elliots game is tailor made for the saints offense that is the huge selling point I am looking at. Running catching screens and pass blocking. It is all there. If he was not such a perfect fit I would not consider him at 12. If Elliot was to end up in the perfect system for his skill set look no further than the saints.

Ingram has always been part of a time share community at RB and still ends up on IR. Elliot was used heavily at OSU so is in need of some rest thus a being a time share RB maybe just what the doctor orders. Besides he can time share with Spiller as well. Spiller has yet to live up to his contract either.

I see Elliot as a player that can give us an out with Ingram or Spiller down the road. Takes the Hightower resigning to a mute issue also.

He is one of the few in this draft I rank a safe pick even at 12.

Does he fill a need? NO but

hey congratulations 76. nothing better than a new mouth to feed.

[K Major]

Congrats times 2 on the baby 76.

Side note - if that knucklehead Robert Ndemkichi hadn't had the off the field issues, he would be my top choice but I still like your choice of Billings as well as A Robinson .
