Saints' Draft Strategy: Fresh Legs for Running Game

0:00On April 2nd, the New Orleans Saints made ways this off season by signing running back Travis ETN from the Jacksonville Jaguars aiming to fix. Their weak ground game and add that explosive big play threat to Kellen Moore's offense. At TN, at 27 years old, brings speed and vision the Saints desperately needed after last season struggles. But don't think they're done building the backfield. The team has been chatting with tons of running back prospects ahead of the draft, even though most folks figure they won't grab one. With Alvin Camara's contract situation hanging in the balance, they're smart to look ahead. Camara just turned in a rough year full of injuries and turnovers, and he'll be 31 before the season kicks off. As the Saints pivot toward younger legs like ETN, Camara's days in New Orleans could be numbered, leaving a gap at that number two spot. This draft class ain't the deepest they're running back, but gems like Notre Dame's Jeremiah Love, in Round 1, to Dairy and Price in Round 2, and third rounders such as Jonah Coleman or Nebraska's

1:00Emma Johnson could fit perfectly. Those guys have the home run speed and elusiveness more craves, and at picks like 8 or 42, the value might be too good to pass up. Word is, if a stud falls to them, the Saints won't hesitate, keeping that running game fresh and dynamic no matter what happens with Camara. Stay tuned as drag season heats up.
