Saints Hosting LSU RB Leonard Fournette For Visit Friday - NFLTradeRumors.co

This is just a cover IMO. I doubt he'll make it to #11, and given the needs defensively, it'd be a stretch to move up to get him.

Pretty silly drafting a RB before 10 IMO. Odds of it working out are horrible, just the worse position to gamble on that high. I could see him dropping for sure.

IF he were there at #11 and you were calling the shots; what would you do?

I personally would still pass...

Mitch, for the record I agree with you but I believe the Saints have some interest. I think the Saints will go BPA @ #11. If for some reason he is there, you take him. I also get it that we run zone blocking schemes, "blah, blah, blah". If the Saints showed interest in AP/Joe Mixon etc, then LF is someone that they would consider drafting.

As far as Ingram thing and "he deserves to be our starting RB", yada, yada ... football is highly competitive at this level. The best man wins the job. Who is to say LF or AP can't take Ingram's job?

Flame away.

Why trade back if you are not getting decent value. Or if the players you like are not there. If he is the best option then take him

He's not in any scenario, period. Besides, he just wanted a free plane ride home for the night. He'll go no further than eight.

Likely but there are some issues. Injury, yoyo weight and not very good with cuts. The weight to me is a problem. Why show up to the biggest event of your life with it being a question. I mean he showed up much heavier than he ever played. Still did well but why even do it. He could have easily knocked it down 5lbs and nobody would have cared.
