The Man that can fill in for AK41 during his looming "vacation" and beyond - DEVON ACHANE RB TEXAS A&M 2nd RD pick 40 overall

I like it, but a change of pace back wasn’t what we missed. We lacked a 1st and 2nd down runner to get hard yards and forced Kamara into that role.

Can find a 3rd down back later in draft. Remember Kamara was a 3rd rounder because of the above skillset

I think we can get that early down runner in FA (Penny, Perine, Jones, Sanders, Foreman, etc.)... When AK is suspended for the first 4-8 games of the season... Our season could be over before it starts... AK is way more than his skillset would have suggested in college, and I think Achane is same type of player... He's going to be a 8 TD guy as a rookie... we need playmakers on offense first and foremost... If you could go back to 2017 and take AK in the 2nd round, would you? I think the same applies here... Achane is more than a 3rd down back... he's a game changer and TD getter... we desperately need that without AK, and we have no idea what the future holds for AK at this point in NOLA... that's where I am with this projection.
