Saints Pick Christian McCaffrey RB at #11

So, you want to put up 40 pts a game and still lose?

LOL... How about we include getting of the field on 3rd on defense with never get off the field on 3rd on offense. The draft is deep in DE and CBs. Nobody is saying to stop defensive picks. The Saints could be the perfect team for McCaffrey.

In any case... I'm just asking you guys to think about the options he would bring in protecting Brees by creating more problems for defenses.

Fournette isn't an option Danno... In fact, McCaffrey is a reach at #11.

I think I'd rather have OJ Howard at #11; IF we're drafting offense...

Great pick but again... we need an immediate difference maker and would he be that in 2017?

Consider, would it be extremely hard to get to Brees on 2nd or 3rd down with both Ingram and McCaffrey on the field considering the rest of the WR and TEs we currently have? What do you do? This is how we got the #1 offense in years past.

Could you actually afford to blitz Brees without paying for it? Imagine how much we missed Sproles the past two years.

Hey... it doesn't matter what I think... ask Payton what he thinks....

Works both ways... Payton and Brees know how to do this...

With 7 more points per game, we would have won 7 more games and been 14-2... and with 4 points... 4 more games.

How much have we improved on defense already? How much will the draft or a trade bring? May be good enough.

How much will or have improved on defense already?

How's the saying go? Offense wins games; but defense wins championships!

Doesn't matter how good or bad your offense is, if your opponent can't score; they can't win...
