This seems like an ideal guy to target correct? He would fill the hole we have at the RB position that fills Sean Paytons offense known as the Bush/Sproles position. He would be cheaper than going after a FA out there that we may have to offer more money to. His stock isn't as high for some reason and we should be able to get him in the 3rd round.

What does the Saints Talk board say about this guy?

Don't expect him to be on the board in the 3rd. The Eagles have targeted him in the draft and Kelly already knows what he can do. So, the question is: Is he worth a 2nd round pick?

Do not want if the price is that high. We need other positions and we're awesome at finding late/undrafted gems at RB. Plus at his size his combine was not impressive. I could see this guy getting knocked out of the league quickly he needs to add weight. Lots of other RB/WR options. Great college player

A main reason Sproles had more success than Reggie is because he could pass protect extremely well.

DeAnthony Thomas, from what I've seen, is an extreme liability in pass protection. Add that to having fumble problems and I don't even want to see him on the field in the Saints' offense.
