I need some things explained to me...

After a post like this, 2nd Stringer, you definitely appear to be stating material. :9: I will echo Andrus and agree that you need to post more.

#1 -- I think Deuce will restructure and stay a Saint. He has indicated a willingness to do what he had to do to stay on the team and he understands the realities of coming back from two ACL surgeries. I still think he can come back and perform well, but we will have to see. I have heard nothing from Loomis, Payton or Deuce that indicates that Deuce will be jettisoned. Now they may believe they need to bring in another back for insurance, but I will not be surprised if they stick with the players they have on the roster and monitor Deuce's progress.

#2 -- In the scenario that the staff doesn't think Deuce can come back with full health, I still don't see them picking a first round RB, but if they did, I don't think McFadden would be that guy. First, I believe he will be gone by #10, either to Oakland or someone trading up to get him. However, if he did fall and the Saints want a RB there (again, I doubt this), I believe Stewart or Mendenhall would be a better fit.

#3 -- I think the love for DRC is a combination of the pre-draft hype he has received, which may be deserved, and the Saints' traditional need to improve the secondary. Most here have expected the Saints to take a first round CB for years, so someone always gets a lot of love every year around draft time.
