A RB In The 2nd???????

Saints coach Sean Payton mentioned Lynell Hamilton first when speaking about a replacement for departed short-yardage specialist Mike Bell.
"We've got real strong opinions on Lynell Hamilton, certainly Pierre Thomas, Reggie Bush," Payton said. "How we replace it will be up to us in terms of whether it's a veteran player or a younger player." Hamilton has an extremely checkered history in terms of health. The Saints could consider a power back like Anthony Dixon or Jonathan Dwyer at the end of round two.
IMO I think we should go DE in the 1st and LB in the 2nd or vice versa.

I'm down with Dwyer. I thought we had bigger holes to fill than RB with the 2nd, but Dwyer is a good player

After acuiring extra draft choice in 2nd round, Saints select Toby Gerhardt.

Anthony Dixon would be a steal

I'd be happy with Ben Tate too. This draft is pretty frickin deep at RB, we could do alot worse than a RB in the 2nd.

i dont think Dwyer drops that far. If he does, take him.
if not, Gerhart
if not, Gerhart

With our current cast of characters we need another RB. Neither PT or god forbid RB have ever played a whole season.If we get a chance in the 2nd at one of the bangers mentioned I take em.

Dwyer, maybe but not Gerhart and Tate.
Dixon outgained Tate while runing behind a subpar Offensive line, and Gerhart? Come on man, how many white running backs have made it in the NFL? well since the 1960s??????
Csonka and Riggins???
None since 1990 unless you consider Mike Alstot not being a fullback.

I'll buy your logic for Dixon being better than Tate, but your explanation of skin color is why Dixon is better than Gerhart is stupid

I'm not an LSU freak (o.k. I am), but we could pick up Charles Scott in the 5th and have that 230lbs back..he's making good improvement off the injured shoulder(17 REPS)..but is flying under the radar b'c of it (was a proj 2nd/3rd rounder last year) and I think he'll be hungry...

As Dwight Schrute says, FACT! Im not going by logic, just by facts, and the fact of the matter is that there havent been any white running backs in the NFL who have contributed to their teams in a long time. And YES IM WHITE. The last white guy to be drafted as a RB was Brian Leonard by the Rams in the 2nd round in 2007 he played 2 years for them and they cut him, and this past season he played for the Bengals.

i dont think Dixon has 2nd rd value. More of a 4th rounder in my eyes.
most people see him going earlier though
Gerhart and Dwyer are better. Id prob take Dixon before Tate

This.
Not only is it stupid, but it's also racist.

It's a fact that you're confusing correlation with causality.
