What is more valuable here. A unknown @ pick #54 in the upcoming draft or 1 year of AK and a future 3rd rd pick?

AK is Payton's toy. I could be wrong but I just don't see a trade happening with Kamara.

Yup. Pretty much the last thing I could see happening. Given we only have Brees for the near future our best chance is winning now. Why trade an important asset which can contribute to our winning the next couple of Lombardi's for future consideration to be used with a team without their leader (Brees) a couple of years down the road?

It makes no sense whatsoever.

I totally agree Chris. If we do trade him then we have to teach the system to another running back during a shortened off season. Kamara knows the system and excels in it. I just wish Payton would not try to make him into a bell cow.....that's why he was hurt all last year. He is not a feature back but Payton treats him like one.

Saints need another pass rusher opposite Cam J.

That's it. That's priority #1. Look it, you get another long defensive end off top of the draft here's what it does...

First, with enough darts, odds are you're gonna have at least one guy opposite Cam to make the vise work...

Second, Cam's not getting younger and when his production drops off suddenly, you should still have two effective DEs...

Third, you've got contracts coming for Ramczyk, Lattimore - big contracts; then you'll have leverage the following year if Davenport is still having availability problems...

Fourth, you're making a tournament run, you can keep Cam fresh, hell change 'em out like a hockey front line - keep running fresh horses at a tired offensive line...

Fifth, if studs like Epenesa or Gross-Matos are there, those are 10-15 year cornerstones like Cam you can invest a 1st vs speed rushers who tale off in their late 20s...

Sixth, all this secondary talent amassed is just BS if you're giving a playoff QB with a playoff offensive line four-plus seconds to release the ball downfield on 3rd & longs...

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results and for three straight seasons, we ran outta pass rushers in the tournament...

Right Now we have six (6) - Michael Thomas, Emmanuel Sander, Jared Cook, Josh Hill, Taysom Hill, Alvin Kamara...

Not having an offseason to evaluate whether Tra'quan Smith is healthy, renewed, or other, that is, is there enough there to trust, puts pressure to take two options in the draft...
