I questioned the Kamara pick, but it's clear his versatility will keep teams on their heels. I think we should continue to feature him in our offense now and for the future. Please don't dial back his touches and let some other team benefit from him as we do with many other players we draft/sign and let go at the expense of making Peterson happy. That said, I don't fault Peterson for being slighted... I would be too.

Not related but I just wanted to say that it sucks wasting away Cam Jordan's prime years. Back to my hole.

I questioned the Kamara pick also. While not completely sold on his price to get hum. He had a solid showing given the OL. But knowing the talent in round 2 in 2018 it will be an up hill fight.

The Peterson signing I viewed more of a media hype stunt. How many games can we get out of him? That is the real question.

The Cam bit I agree with completely.

And the Saints offense is better with a Sproles back which hasn't been replaced, well, since we gave up Sproles...

Kamara was definitely a nice consolidation pick, but I'd rather move a player than for Payton to keep mortgaging the future...
