That's a what if that ain't coming true; at least not for a season or two...

Re: Saints Pick Christian McCaffrey RB at #11
 

11 - O.J. Howard TE Alabama 6056 251 4.51 #88 Sr

Let say Sharper is right and the white boy drops
32 - Christian McCaffrey RB/WR/KR Stanford 5115 205 4.48 Jr

The rumor is right and he goes in the 2nd not in the 3rd
42 - Joe Mixon, RB, Oklahoma 6011 226 4.50 #25 rSo

What the heck add another tool
76 - Adoree' Jackson CB/WR/KR/PR USC 5105 186 4.43 #2 Jr

Only thing missing is a power back with excellent blocking skill set.
103 - Brian Hill RB Wyoming 6010 219 4.54 #5 Jr

Lets see what saints nation would do. DC will be drinking heavy and dreading the day when they play the saints.

That's a hypothetical discussion. Until Brees is no longer playing for the Saints, it's not a part of the discussion.

There's a draft and free agency each and every year. When Brees is no longer a part of the equation, then compensating for his absence becomes an issue, not before.

Also as stated earlier in this thread, a good defense can compensate for a young or average QB. So even in the hypothetical case of Brees' departure the Saints still need a better defense to compensate for the loss.

All I can tell you is if the Saints pick McCaffery at 11, I'll have the look that the Jets fans seemed to have at the draft each and every year:

If we draft Fournette, where does that leave Ingram?

Re: Saints Pick Christian McCaffrey RB at #11
 

I'm waiting to see what a improved defense does against a decent offense with a already great defense(Detroit). If we continue the puntfest we have the last two years against that team we'll know something. Oh, and Minnesota is not gonna be a walk in the park either.

"...a decent offense with an already great defense(Detroit)."

Detroit's defense ranked:
18th in total yards
13th in points allowed
30th in sacks
23rd in interceptions
19th in pass yards allowed
18th in rushing yards allowed
20th in yards per carry
22nd in yards per pass
31st in 3rd down percentage
22nd in 1st/Goal percentage.

What is it about their defense that makes you think it is "already great"?

Re: Saints Pick Christian McCaffrey RB at #11
 

Better than ours :doh: :bang:

Re: Saints Pick Christian McCaffrey RB at #11
 

Ouch!

It hurts because it's true.
