Just when I thought everyone in the NFC South was getting better but the Saints....BAM.....BAM!!!!!!!!! Cameron Jordan and Mark Ingram.
love this ingram pick. hes going to be a good one. payton swoops in and gets a difference maker. glad they didnt just stand idle.
I really don't like this trade at all. Ingram isn't worth a 2nd round pick and next year's 1st round pick (unless that 1st round pick is the 32nd pick :wave: ) There are a lot of hidden gem RBs that go undrafted. Bush Thomas Ingram Ivory Who gets the boot?
I could honestly see Ingram being an LDT type player, his field vision is pretty sick Edit: And yeah Bush is gone, Lance Moore did too good of a job filling in his role when he was injured last year to warrant his salary.
said we gave up our 1st Round pick from next year and our 2nd Round pick from this year to get Ingram... and there aren't any great running backs coming out next year in the draft (unless Alabama's Trent Richardson or Arkansas' Kniles Davis leave early) Ingram = the next Emmitt Smith? --he's the greatest running back in Alabama Crimson Tide football history, and the first to win a Heisman (five other Bama RBs have finished in the Top 5 of the Heisman voting, most recent before Ingram being 3-time Pro Bowl RB and NFL MVP Shaun Alexander) --Ingram holds the all-time Alabama single-season rushing record with 1,658 yards. his 42 career rushing touchdowns is the most in Alabama history, and that was just in three years at Alabama. --he's the first running back to capture the Heisman and a national championship in the same season since Tony Dorsett (Pittsburgh) in 1976 --his father, Mark Ingram, Sr., was a 1st-Round pick (#28 overall) that had a 9-year NFL career. That's makes both the Saints 1st Round picks who have fathers that had long NFL careers. like the Sean Payton just said on the radio, the advantage of that is that they both know what is expected to be able to make it a decade in the NFL like their fathers did
