Of all of the offensive positions, the running back spot presents the clearest need for the New Orleans Saints entering this year's NFL Draft.

Mixon and Ingram would make a good 2 headed monster.

Re: Saints enter this year's NFL Draft with a clear hole at running back
 

Mixon is a no go

Why?

We can pick up a solid #2 rb in mid rounds.

Rb is not a hole... dumb...

Re: Saints enter this year's NFL Draft with a clear hole at running back
 

I think our depth behind Ingram is garbage. I could see us using our 2nd round pick on Alvin Kamara or Curtis Samuel.

Re: Saints enter this year's NFL Draft with a clear hole at running back
 

Is there any chance of getting Khiry back?

Re: Saints enter this year's NFL Draft with a clear hole at running back
 

O line before RB.

Defense before O line.

Re: Saints enter this year's NFL Draft with a clear hole at running back
 

Khiry held our running game back. Ingram especially was inconsistent with him.

Re: Saints enter this year's NFL Draft with a clear hole at running back
 

One injury to Ingram (not uncommon either) and its Lasco and Murphy. That is a problem

Re: Saints enter this year's NFL Draft with a clear hole at running back
 

Now its " clear hole at running back " in the media world with mocks finally giving McCaffrey the respect he deserves.

McCaffrey is a perfect match for SP and SP is the perfect match for McCaffrey. A marriage made in heaven.

I get the feeling the media is forcing him up to the saints to make the mocks look good.

The McCaffrey pick would mean 2 or three players instantly start hanging on to the bubble by their finger nails when camp start. opening a roster spot or 2 would be a good thing for a defense rebuilding.

Cook is taking way to much of a pounding from media brain trust now. Fumbles are now a huge issue? give me a break. They always were. He has stop playing with the ball. I am more concerned with all the minor dings that kept Cook off the field at FSU.

Media brain trust geshhhh

Re: Saints enter this year's NFL Draft with a clear hole at running back
 

I don't see Marcus making the final 53 roster either. He must have a strong camp & subsequent pre season.
Saw him far too many times in street clothes (healthy scratch) last season.

Re: Saints enter this year's NFL Draft with a clear hole at running back
 

BOOM WLLIAMS.

Re: Saints enter this year's NFL Draft with a clear hole at running back
 

I have read that Carolina is considering McCaffery. This board really needs to zip it sometime because the enemy is watching.

Re: Saints enter this year's NFL Draft with a clear hole at running back
 

Do you honestly beleve that any professional would pay any attention to a bunch of knuckleheads (myself included) on a forum?

Re: Saints enter this year's NFL Draft with a clear hole at running back
 

I believe he does believe that.

Re: Saints enter this year's NFL Draft with a clear hole at running back
 

Of course GMs read the forums! You think they aren't? This has already been known. GMs will do anything to get information on other teams especially division rivals.

Re: Saints enter this year's NFL Draft with a clear hole at running back
 

What color is the sky in your world?

Re: Saints enter this year's NFL Draft with a clear hole at running back
 

How has this already been known? Who knows this? GM's know a hell of a lot more than any fan could hope to know, why would they search a fan forum for answers?

Re: Saints enter this year's NFL Draft with a clear hole at running back
 

This is absolutely true! I happen to know the brother of a girlfriend of the uncle of the owner of the company that steam cleans the Browns locker rooms and he assures me that their GM reads the forums daily and pretty much follows most of the advice the members offer up.

If you think Ron Rivera is not slimy enough to do something like this............

Re: Saints enter this year's NFL Draft with a clear hole at running back
 

Ron Rivera is as childish as his QB.

Re: Saints enter this year's NFL Draft with a clear hole at running back
 

Of course, head coaches have far more time to visit fan forums than does your average GM.

This is why I only post stupid stuff... Does anybody really care what I think?

Great... they are only reading WillSaints81 posts... they could read Hagan and mine too I think.

Re: Saints enter this year's NFL Draft with a clear hole at running back
 

I understand the ridicule, but I'd disagree with your broad stroke that "GM's know a hell of a lot more..."

I give you the following...

Alex, what is I'll take another wide receiver in the first round?

Well, one could argue he's responsible for the Dallas Cowboys Mini-Dynasty, even though he was Vikings GM!

Got a second chance with the same organization - hires Ole Ball Coach Spurrier...

Yeah, I know, Ditka wanted it, but it's still the GM that signs off on it; what's worse, he should have learned from Mike Lynn's Herschel Walker trade!

Re: Saints enter this year's NFL Draft with a clear hole at running back
 

Dont forget Mike Lombardi

The way he goes on anout what teams should do you think he would have done a better job at the browns with all those picks

Re: Saints enter this year's NFL Draft with a clear hole at running back
 

Lol okay, competent GM's know a hell of a lot more.

Re: Saints enter this year's NFL Draft with a clear hole at running back
 

I disagree that there's a clear hole at RB...

Last year we supposedly had a great corps...

We returned everyone but a reclamation back...

With Adrian Peterson, Karlos Williams, LeGarrette Blount, Bobby Rainey, and yes, even Reggie Bush among other options for No. 2 RB, don't see it imperative to have to take a RB...

I do believe out offense could go to another level though with Christian McCaffrey...

Re: Saints enter this year's NFL Draft with a clear hole at running back
 

I agree. I am becoming more and more enamored with McCaffrey every day. I wouldn't be at all upset if we took him at #11. I doubt if he will make it past the bottom third of the first round.

Re: Saints enter this year's NFL Draft with a clear hole at running back
 

I've been screaming for defense but McCaffrey is a perfect toy for Payton. Then draft defense until the 7th when we get a project O-lineman.

Re: Saints enter this year's NFL Draft with a clear hole at running back
 

I agree, again. Way too many three and out the past couple of years. With a versatile player like McCaffrey there could be so many options on third down. There would always be mismatches somewhere, and unlike Fleener, he would take advantage of them.

Re: Saints enter this year's NFL Draft with a clear hole at running back
 

I must come clean.

The truth is... I am Mickey Loomis.

Re: Saints enter this year's NFL Draft with a clear hole at running back
 

I love you Tobias-Reiper/Mickey Loomis!
