I would do it. Might cost us a 3rd but we get a strong pass catching RB, good runner, still young and has a great attitude. Good luck finding that combination anywhere else. I don't think he has ever missed a game.

Why wouldn't Latavius be here next year? He has a 4 year deal!

A third for Drake and take the cap hit for releasing Murray? Hard pass. He was drafted in the 3rd round and hasn’t produced anything so far in his career. The Dolphins practically gave him the keys when they traded Jay Ajayi to the Eagles. He hasn’t rushed for more than 50 yards in a game this season! And you are willing to give up a 3rd round pick?

What gives you any indication that Drake would be better than Murray? Murray was on some terrible team also and still produced at a better rate.

Man, what did Murray do to you?

Murray will be here next year and the team will sign a 3rd option in the offseason


Also you are admitting publicly to using a Madden team thats not the Saints!

Idk why some people on here have a hard-on for him. Murray is the real deal and a former pro bowler. And you're right drake hasn't done jack. I wouldn't trade a seventh round pick for him.

Whether or not anyone agrees that the Saints should target Drake, it's not really accurate to say he hasn't done jack. It is absolutely accurate to say he is a good player who has been buried on a bad team. The fact that so many people in this thread seem to be entirely uninformed about him speaks to that fact.

Two years ago he had over 600 yards rushing, and averaged 4.8 yards per carry. Last year he had 535 rushing yards and averaged 4.5 yards per carry, and also had 73 catches for 477 yards and 5 touchdowns. And, as Beast said, this has all been with a bad team, where there really are no other respectable options for defenses to game plan for.

I don't see the Saints pursuing him, because Kamara has the same skill set and is more dynamic, but if the Dolphins dangled him for next to nothing, he's not the type of player you pass on.

Just look at what he's done the last couple of years. This year is a wash. How can anyone expect the Dolphins to establish the run in any game this year, when they are usually down by 30, 40 or 50 points? And he's not a bell cow who you give the ball to 25 times a game. Kamara isn't either.

If the Saints didn't have Alvin, I think Drake would be an excellent addition to their offense.

I'm high on Murray. Every time he carries the ball he gets stronger. What's not to like? Oh, and he can catch the ball and looks good running to space. Besides, as was mentioned earlier he signed a four year deal.
