I'm not a member of this site, but according to this teaser (with the rest inside, if a member)...


"The New Orleans Saints face a big decision next week on Deuce McAllister’s contract. If the Saints don’t pick up the bonus, they may need to select a running back in the NFL Draft to take his place. On Tuesday, Oregon RB Jonathan Stewart met with Saints running backs coach Aaron Kromer and other team officials."



Some other stuff....


"Scout.com's Ed Thompson has learned the Saints will host a San Jose State cornerback for a visit next week. The Saints have shown great interest since the East-West Shrine game." = Dwight Lowery (who I think is a sleeper).


There was also another tidbit that said Tracy Porter (CB, Indiana) will visit us as well. Beau Bell (LB, UNLV) also will visit us.

If we're even considering RB with #10 overall it has to be Rashard Mendenhall. Unless we trade down, and then possibly draft Stewart.
 
Stewart would be good value in the 2nd if he slipped because of his injury.
 
i had us taking lowery in my mock... nobody threw at him his senior year... thats why his stats suffered
 

And....

I think Forte is the best running back in this draft class. If the Saints want a running back and they don't get him I will be mildly disappointed.

Stewart is my favorite RB in this draft. Deuce size + faster. Don't lose any vision either.

God is every CB coming out best suited for a Tampa 2 scheme? Gimme a break.
 
I seriously hope the Saints don't pick up a RB until at least the 5th round even if we DO let Deuce go... I think we have more pressing needs like DT, LB, OL, TE, CB, S (in that order) to pick up a running back w/ an early pick... We have Reggie, PT, and Stecker who (especially w/ a better line...ie possible OL pick in 1st round) could handle the load enough in Deuce's absence. And if not...then we can pick up a RB next year...our O was good enough last year to be in top 10 without Duece... I don't see why it can't be again...
 
Lowery reminds me of a Jason David if you play with your head in the backfield long enough though you get burned in the pros. He looks like a good cover 2 guy though`
 
I've seen Lowery play live and he'd be a decent mid-round pick
 
I like Stewart but he will be off the board long before we should be picking offensive players IMO.
