Yeah!!! So let's go with a RB to add to an offense that NEVER RUNS THE frickING BALLLLLLL!!!


I'm gonna use this in my argument for why we need to look into Michael bush, take a RB with one of our second day picks, or see if the Bush/Thomas/Bell rotation will work.

I think this cat is referring to the post second-knee-injury-to-Deuce seasons. I don't think we need to take a RB with 14 cause last year we had the #1 offense in the NFL. I personally would like to see if Mike Bell can be the between the tackles running back we need. If we had any sort of D last year we could have been contending for the SB and you all know it. Having a bruiser RB would not have made as much of a difference last year as say a ball-hawking safety.

IMO i think we need to trade down and get into the second round.

The fact that we usually passed on 3 and short or did not convert 3rd or 4th and shorts with the run tells me we probably need a power RB.

What you fail to realize is that if the Saints can acquire a good between the tackles RB, that within itself can help out the defense b/c the can pound the ball, acquire first downs, and maintain ball control throughout the game. There were at least four games last season that was lost pretty much b/c the Saints offense couldn't convert a 3rd and 1.
