re: should the saints draft JC Copeland in late rounds

It'd be interesting to see what Payton would do with him. Defensive backs who've been so keen at snuffing out screens to Sproles, might not be as eager with a 280 lb bowling ball heading their way. Ditto the short yardage plays up the gut. Defenses are built to stop the smaller, faster guys right now, and a serious power option might do some damage.

I thought the fullback issue is durability, though. A guy like Copeland only has a couple of years before he's broken down (maybe one contract), and then you have to reload with another bruiser.
