According to bleacher report we are eyeing a trade. Will we give up more draft capital?

Who cares if it's anything after the 4th round

Man don't tell people here that.

They say we're fine at RB with Kamara and no one else that's proven anything.

We are fine, go play, give the unproven guys a chance. We aren’t playoff contenders, and now the front office is acting like we need to give away value to become contenders

It won't matter if Ruiz is still playing. No RB can get past getting hit in the backfield.

I'm all for trading Day 3 picks for players who can actually come in and contribute.

Bitching because we're not contenders and in the same sentence bitching because they are trying to become contenders.

Saints Talk never disappoints.

I hope not, or at least not in sense of trading draft capital. Kellen Moore's offense doesn't rely or frequently use a big RB, hence the size of our starting WRs, profile of our TEs, and the fact that we do not have a FB. We could use a big back, but maybe Neal can be that guy plus it depends on Taysom's return time frame.

This is actually the best our RB room has been at this stage in years!
Kamara is still there, should be fresh
Kendre is actually healthy & practicing daily. He's also looked good in preseason games breaking some tackles. I've also seen him pick up some blitzers in pass protection
CEH has shown his pass protection. He's also shown a little shiftiness and power, and can still catch the ball out the backfield
Devin Neal is practicing this week so hopefully he can play this weekend and show what was reported earlier in camp
Velus Jones Jr. I think is a lock to make the roster due to his big play ability and versatility at multiple positions since he can play RB, some WR, and KR/PR
Cam Akers has been okay, but nothing take over any of the above mentioned.
Marcus Yarns seems like just another guy

Saints viewed as that retard in your fantasy league everyone spams for trades.

Dude we took Robinson in round 3 and now he has experience! He's worth at least a third! Ok a fourth but you’re really twisting my arm.

Big reach to say I’m bitching. I’m just being honest, I’m ok that we aren’t, but not ok that we won’t accept and rebuild the team. You want it to be one way but it’s the other way

I like our top 3 guys at the moment, but I don't love our depth. If there's an upgrade out there, it's not a bad idea to put out feelers.

I just don't see the need. A healthy Miller and CEH are pretty decent backs to spell AK41. Neal will be a stud but can stash on the PS. Jones can make the 53 as well depending on what we want to do with the WR's.

We 100% don't need to be sending out picks unless it's something like Robinson for a 2027 7th or something.

I can guarantee what we currently have at WR and TE is not his ideal prototype.
