We need someone to replace Sproles. Badly

After center, corner, reciever, tackle, linebacker, then we can address running back/ return man.

I like Ingram and Robinson as a 1-2 punch. Adjust the game plan to smash mouth runs which will develop tha passing game tremendously.

Downgrade but I'll take him before drafting a running back early.

Martavis Bryant, Clemson


Extremely raw but may have the biggest upside in this entire wide out class. Bryant is going to be one of those players who tears up the combine with his numbers & raises his stock sky high.

Yeah, Cadet was kept on this roster all season for a reason. We've seen that he can be effective, and with 2 years in the scheme already, he'd have a leg up on any running back they would bring in to fill the Sproles/Thomas role as a receiver out of the backfield.

i bet the saints could go for Jordan Matthews late in the first round and he is a quality tough receiver

just because Sproles is a running back doesn't mean we need to draft a running back. Sproles was guy you could split out wide and provided a mismatch, you can consider him an X-Factor if you wish. I say we draft Odell Beckham and use him as your X-Factor or a guy who can make splash plays. Also Sproles had 53 carries, which is nothing that is little over 3 carries a game.

Probably my favorite WR in the draft. Might be my favorite player altogether.

Not saying he's the best player, but he might be my favorite.

i love how physical he is and his determination. the ceiling for him is high and i really hope to see him succeed. plus i think him and colston would compliment each other very well

He reminds me of a faster Colston. But I would say his closest comparison is Rueben Randle.
