and punter

shocking news

If Darius Guice is there at 27 you can not pass him up. This is another Deuce McCalister type dude. He just way outproduced Deuce in college. Heck he outplayed Leonard Fournette in college. IF DARIUS GUICE IS AVAILABLE AT 27 PICK HIM! We picked Deuce at I think 22 when we had Ricky Williams coming off like a 1500 yd rushing season and can we agree Deuce was a good pick?

I agree with your reasoning.

Re: Draft breakdown: Running back is one of the few spots Saints should avoid early in draft
 

See last year we had Ingram and Peterson...
We make some trades and draft a RB... Kamara.

And we all know how that turned out. You stay true to the board and draft BPA needs be damned.

DO NOT DRAFT A QB OR RB THIS YEAR!!! WE NEED TO WIN NOW!!!

Re: Draft breakdown: Running back is one of the few spots Saints should avoid early in draft
 

in the scenario I would 100% trade back

with only 1 pick in the top 90 we need someone who will see the field

The past few years have shown us the importance of a dominant running game. Guice would be a steal at 27. If the right offer doesn’t show up I say you have to draft him. He is a game changer and from Louisiana. No doubt we are stacked but could you imagine Guice and AK for the next 3-5 years....

SP could not send his pick up any faster if Mayfield was there.

Re: Draft breakdown: Running back is one of the few spots Saints should avoid early in draft
 

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

Where does that leave Ingram? This FO will not let Ingram go until the reason to is clear.

Re: Draft breakdown: Running back is one of the few spots Saints should avoid early in draft
 

the reason to let ingram go would be a trade, trade 1st rd picks with pats and get a 2nd for him. deal done. rbs are a dime a dozen.

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.

Re: Draft breakdown: Running back is one of the few spots Saints should avoid early in draft
 

Running backs that know the Saints offense and can contribute in every phase (running, receiving, pass blocking) are not that plentiful.

Re: Draft breakdown: Running back is one of the few spots Saints should avoid early in draft
 

Given that Ingram gets the lions share of touches for the offense, even in games he shouldn't, he's not going anywhere.

Re: Draft breakdown: Running back is one of the few spots Saints should avoid early in draft
 

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

Let him play out his last year. It's a whole new year next year.

Re: Draft breakdown: Running back is one of the few spots Saints should avoid early in draft
 

I doubt he is there but if he is it would be stupid to pass on him. Ingram is perfectly ripe for a trade. Another year not so much. If we got him at 27 then traded Ingram with another pick to get back in the 2nd where the real value is located...that would be to good to be true IMO.

I'd draft a productive FullBack with great hands late though...
