If we take a running back with the first pick it better be Leonard Fournette

[Rell&Gold]

Christian plays behind one HELL of a Oline we dont have that,

This year both McCaffrey and Fournette are playing with a bunch of new faces on the OL.

More importantly both have new/subpar QB also. both will be facing 8 in the box with teams out to stop them and daring the QB to beat them

This will be a great test for both.

So far after last year IMO Leonard Fournette seems to be more dependent on his OL than McCaffrey.

McCaffrey wins on versatility but I am sure Fournette could do more if Les let him.

If you did take Fournette cutting Spiller would be harder to do. I picked McCaffrey not only as a player but the cap relief his pick could offer. Spiller is cap bait next year.

You forgot the most important information! How did the upcoming season turn out for the Saints?

I knew next to nothing though?

I said Petty was better than Grayson(and he's played better this preseason that him too!)
Just wait until Perryman becomes a force for the chargers this year.
I was one of the very first that acknowledged ODB becoming a top receiver. People had him behind Watkins and Evans and even Cooks. I did not have him behind Evans.
I also warned against the likes of Marquise Lee, who is not even a number 2 receiver let alone a 1 in Jacksonville.
I also have good insights on olinemen. I did not have Turner as a draftable player. And he's showing that in pre-season so far.

Come again saying I know next to nothing in terms of talent.

I liked Perryman but i liked McKinney and Anthony too. Really would have been happy with all of them.

To be honest I wanted Perryman and McKinney and didn't want Anthony. I feel for Anthony, I really do. If he does leave I think a 3-4 team will get a good player, solid tackling with less space to cover in the middle will be his ticket.

Thought Kendricks at the bottom of the 1st was a safer, more desirable pick than Anthony.

Wanted big MLB McKinney in the 2nd but I think he went prior to our pick.

Vic Beasley, Bud Dupree, Shaq Thompson, Stephone Anthony, Benardrick McKinney (one pick before Kikaha)...
