I need some things explained to me...

2nd stringer, let me add that you should post more.

I agree with all your assessments. I think the Saitns FO is very aware of the PR blunder they will make by releasing McAllister now. Any residual honeymoon feelings left from the 2006 season will completely evaporate if McAllister is released and is picked up by an NFC South rival -which he probably would be.

I expect Deuce to pick up his March 15th bonus and for the two sides to renegotiate the deal afterwards.

I tend to agree with NFL network's draft analyst Mike Mayock regarding McFadden and his "dead legs" on contact. I think he is an outstanding player in space, but much like Bush, I think McFadden will have trouble breaking tackles in the NFL. A lot of the respect McFadden gets around here was based on what he did to LSU's defense this past season.

To be honest, I think if Reggie Bush would have had a chance to play against LSU when he was at USC, he would have had similar success. Hashmark placement and the overall speed of college football helps runners like Bush and McFadden break those runs to the outside.

McFadden is a special talent, but not what the Saints need right now. He's not an Adrian Peterson.

DRC's hype stems purely from the combine and Senior Bowl performances -like others have said. Add to the mix his last name and the glaring need for corner help, and it's pretty obvious that many want the best possible corner drafted by the Saints first.
