Triplett says Saints Interest in Chris "Beanie" Wells is "Bona Fide"

[Polo_Haynes2.0]

Anything else you see in your crystal ball? Hes arguably not even the best RB in this draft....

I really don't know where everybody is getting this from.

Please elaborate.

He has multiple run-ins with the law. But, he's from the SEC, so he must be the second coming, right?

 

[CHI-TOWNSAINT]

Hey CHI-TOWN, you remember the other day it was something reported, and you said that you threw-up in your mouth a lil'?

Well buddy the same thing just happened to me, but I coughed when I did, and most of it spewed over the keyboard and screen.
:ipuker:UKE1:

I do remember....I still have a small burning sensation in my throat....

Um, Pegues had one run in (that I know for sure of) with an off duty police officer (who had it coming to him) at a party where a girl was the underlying reason for the dispute....and wasn't because Pegues was beating/harassing a woman either. The off duty cop was the instigator and all charges were dropped on Pegues and other players involved.

I'd be upset if we got Wells... we have 2 holes on defense (OLB and FS), and RB is not a need.

Yes we may need to draft one, but not at 14.

I'd say he and Knowshon are 1A and 1B, but for our team Wells would be the better fit. Sorry I don't buy into the whole conference bull (sec vs big 10) people take way too seriously.

WOW, FS is a hole? You must think Sharper is washed up. Otherwise, we have FS depth concerns, but no way should it be labeled a hole.

Ugghhh...Days later, and you still feel the after affects?
So I guess mine will last at least another 4 1/2 months, considering were taking "Beanie".:smileypuker:

Not a hole but a need. Lets be honest, how long is he going to be around? we need someone for the long term.

lus-un2:As simple as that!

 

[JackDiesel]

Wells and Pegues... That'd go down as one of the worst drafts in Saints history.

A one dimensional power back that gets hurt by small injuries and is inconsistent.

A FS that's slow, undersized, and a poor tackler.

That just sounds like a train wreck waiting to happen. We are adding a player which has durability issues to a position in which players get injured a lot. Then adding a player which lacks the qualities necessary to be good in that position.

 

[Marlboro Man]

I don't think so...

Is this guy anything like Brandon Jacobs?

I saw a youtube clip here on SR that showed a S, KHDITD and send him to the sidelines dazed and confused. I'm not at all in favor of Wells at 14.

Ah, blame the police. Nice.

Pegues also had an open container problem recently. He obviously didn't learn his lesson. We don't need his kind on the team.

My ideal draft would be to take Malcolm Jenkins. If he is not there, slide down a few spots, pick up a second or third and draft Wells.

If we could get Wells and a 2nd or 3rd pick to boot by trading down, that would be a great move. I wonder if Loomis and Payton would risk losing the chance to draft Wells, though, if Jenkins is already off the board when they come up no the clock?
