Agreed. That's why I'm now a fan of taking McCaffrey in the first round...

Should our new, HEALTHY, defense struggle, McCaffrey would be our Sproles extending drives...

Excellent complement to the bowling ball Ingram...

SP went on record speaking highly about McCaffrey and stated he had a "crystal clear" vision for the player. Christian checks off on a lot of scouts boxes. It does make me wonder.

I could see the Saints going after a RB as early as rd 3 if not sooner.

We need a better TE . I like Mixon over McCaffrey and want use up a 1st. If Payton wants to strike fear again draft a TE at 11 and Mixon at 42.

Fear in his fan base? After O.J. what TE's worth an eleven and Mixon at 32? Wow, that'd go right up there with the SJB pick in over reaching a draft pick. There's a real good chance that guy's still there in the early third.

And in this offense that TE will put up elite numbers and then you'll have to trade him after his rookie contract...

In the modern economic cap model, there's really not a whole lot of money for an elite TE when you've got an elite QB, two elite defenders, an All-Pro offensive linemen, and a Top 5 X receiver...

You know, kinda what we should've learned from the Graham experience...
