Pierre Thomas

[THOLTFAN81]

I see all these posts about Jahvid Best "hopefully" falling to the Rams in round two and if he does the Rams should take him...

Why not Pierre Thomas? He was only tendered at the second round level, and is already a proven STUD running back. He is only 25, and won't be 26 until the middle of next year. Why use our 2nd round pick on Best, an unproven RB, when we could use our 2nd round pick on Pierre Thomas a proven Super Bowl winning RB.

Cause the saints will match that offer.

Ya, Thomas would be a good addition, but no way saints let him go. Also I still dont think Jahvid Best will be drafted in the 1st.

Take it for what it's worth (next to nothing) but I've read that the Chargers, who desperately need a running back at this point, are preparing as if he won't be there when they pick at no. 28. So he may actually be gone, who knows.


Regarding Thomas, he would be a great get, but the offer will almost certainly be matched, especially in an uncapped year. Reggie Bush hasn't yet proved that he can fill Thomas' role in the backfield.

Why use our second rounder on Best or Thomas? We need a proven backup, which we could get without spending anything. We need a "stud" at basically every other position on the team except runningback!
