Re: Draft breakdown: Running back is one of the few spots Saints should avoid early in draft
Just don't see the need to ever take a RB in the first round - ever...
This is a West Coast passing league now - QBs, CBs, DEs, OL are the premium positions now... Kamara, as great as he was, fell to the third round before we traded back into the draft... But, for the record, Kareem Hunt was still on the board when we took Anzalone... |

But totally agree, we still need front seven help on defense, interior offensive line with those Day 1 and 2 picks... |

Lol by all accounts Mayfield isn’t falling past the Jets at 3.

David Johnson
Tevin Coleman Jordan Howard Darren Sproles Kamara K Hunt Dion Lewis Good value can be found in later rounds on quality RB's. Philly won the SB with a nice duo of Ajayi & L Blount (both drafted in lower rounds). Pass on a RB in the 1st round. Go get you another big ugly (offensive lineman) or DT if they are the best available player on your board at 27. |

Nobody is giving up a 1st or 2nd for Ingram. If the best player on the board is a RB and no good trade offers are there then take him if he is a pure runner.
Ingram has suffered injuries during his career. His age is getting up there and his contract escalating. Im all for keeping him but you've got to be looking a couple of years down tbe line |
