I think RB is a need
Ingram cant get through a seaso healthy The less said about the stupid money spent om the injury case that is Spiller the better. The other two back Hightower hasnt played 16 games in years and Ballard hasnt played 16 games since 2012. Thats alot of physio/hot tub time between them. |

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............
Daniel Jeremiah has us taking Paxton Lynch in his newest mock. Could Payton be thinking the same thing? Could explain the no Brees restructure...

But he has come a long way in a short time in terms of the work he's done to prepare for the transition from college to the pros. He has all the physical tools and attributes you'd like, plus a lot of natural athleticism. If his dedication to his craft continues like this then I'd say give him 2-3 years and he could become a really good pro. Obviously we would all prefer a day one starter with our first pick, but it would be a solid investment in the future.. in fact if it stops all the "life after Brees" type threads it might be worth it on that alone!
Seriously though, prepare yourselves people. If he's sitting there at 12, have yourself a strong drink with a couple of muscle relaxers crushed up in it on standby and just know that this too shall pass... |

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............
I believe the transition from Drew will have to be a RB not qb. Because we won't get a qb that will do what Drew has done, you better have a RB to carry the team. If Deuce had a defense in his era, saints are playoff teams.
Thing is Sean Payton is likely here beyond Drew so he will try to find the next big qb. But now now. |

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............
Would you guys be disappointed if we drafted Reggie Ragland in the first round? I saw him mention somewhere that the Saints were one of the teams who have shown the most interest in him. Seems like the kind of unexpected pick we'd make.

There is no way we could have bad luck with all of the RB's this year. Ingram has never been a 25 carry a game guy. Give him 15, Spiller 5, Hightower 5 and Ballard a couple. The Backfield is fine. If we draft a QB it won't be in the 1st 3 rounds. DT/DE, CB and OG, Safety or DT

He's an ILB. Do we have a need there?
