I'm just wondering why many are overlooking what the team already has?

I can buy that. But you don't draft for depth at the top of the draft. Or bring in a high dollar free agents for depth. The talk is about Fournette, Peterson, and Blount. Those are running backs when you're looking to replace your current running back, not for depth.

Mixon may be a bargain at 103. But I don't think he'll be there at the end of the 3rd.

But during the Payton tenure the running back position has been productive with undrafted free agents such as Thomas, Ivory, and Robinson and signed free agents like Hightower and Bell. Except for Ingram, the Saints running game has been a committee of somewhat interchangable players from a collection of backgrounds.

But Ingram is the guy. Period. Adding depth is fine. But I'm frustrated with the discussion of guys who seem to be targeting Ingram as a replacement.
