re: How do the Saints get back in the 2nd round?

maybe you werent paying attention when he averaged less then 10 carries a game

When accounting for the fact that he played 1 less game in 2019 than he did in 2018, his average carries per game weren't that far off of his 2018 totals. And he had the same amount of receptions in '19 as he did in '18. The usage rates weren't that different. It was the big drop in TD's that was the difference.

So the question is do you believe last year is his "norm"? Or was that the anomaly relative to his first two seasons?

Kamara is a huge piece of Payton's offense. Could he get a first rounder in a trade for Kamara? Maybe. But are you confident the Saints can make up for his lost production via other means?

In a season where it looks to truly be the final year for your HOF QB I think the Saints are going to go with a known commodity vs. taking a chance on an unproven rookie.

I don’t think we are going to see eye to eye on this. If we were a bad team then we would need every pick we can get but we don’t have room on our team for 7 plus draft picks so we package to get better players. We won’t have enough room on the roster next year either. I’m not saying sell the farm for years down the line but we have had a lot of success with signing middle of the road role players and packaging picks to get the best players we can get. If you are hitting on your picks then we are fine. We used to miss on those picks but our front office has got really good at finding talent

you Ever think there more than one guy away?

I think we have a team that capable of competing for a championship as is but our team is so deep that we don’t have room for a bunch of players. Therefore we should get the best players that we can. I’m not saying Ricky Williams trade everything away but we can stay aggressive and get the right players that we want

KJ Hamler might be worth looking into. Can stretch the field with blazing speed. Deep speed and stays separated. Ran past the entire OSU defense last year. Guy can go.

Can catch it and take it the distance- still the number one missing skill on this roster. People say he's too small and that's fair, but he isnt going to be the number 1 guy here. We just need him to be someone who can beat a safety or overmatched LB/dime corner when the rest of the defense is worried about MT, JC, Emmmanuel, or AK. Guy that catches teams sleeping while they worry about everyone else and can take it to the house. We've filled this position previously with Austin Carr, Treshawn Hogan, Brandon Coleman, etc. Imagine how lethal this offense could get if we plug in someone with Hamler's kind of juice
