I thought the same thing about Zeke coming into this season but he made a few really nice catches that were 25+ yards down field this season. He was close to having one last week as well but he came down out of bounds. But it was still a nice catch considering he's a RB.I don't know, Zeke is a good receiving back but it's more as an outlet and less as a route runner. Besides, Zeke is your power runner. But ultimately we just need a second RB who is good at something.
It's Zurlein kicking, not Maher.gonna miss it
So in terms of offensive needs how would you rank them?Finding a complimentary RB to Zeke should be on our list of priorities. Not high on the list, but on the list. Unless one was clearly the BPA in the mid to late rounds of the draft, I wouldn't draft one. I'd seek at the top available UDFAs. Seems to always be a few hidden RB gems in that bunch.

Mine might actually be
1. TE
2. RB
3. WR
4. OL
Of course I'd have no problem if we drafted any of those positions if they were best available. I mean I could see drafting a guard even (Move Conner William's to OT). Plus we should be able to find a good RB in free agency. Or one late in the draft like you mentioned.
Yeah I mean he has good hands. But when he runs those quick in and out routes against man coverage LBers seem to be all over him. Like the route that Kamara has ran repeatedly in this game and beat the LBer. Those aren't really a strength of Zekes.I thought the same thing about Zeke coming into this season but he made a few really nice catches that were 25+ yards down field this season.

Um you view DT and safety as an offensive need?My list would be
1. DT
2. TE
3. WR
4. RB
5. Safety
I was thinking the same thing. I thought they should have ran and made the Rams use their timeouts. I figured because they feel more comfortable with the passing game there they felt better going that route.The spotty Saints play calling after the 2 minute warning left the Rams too much time and a timeout. I'm surprised Payton gagged like that.
Eh, trusted Brees to make a high percentage pass that was inexplicably low. Misdirection run that the Rams played well. And an egregious missed PI.The spotty Saints play calling after the 2 minute warning left the Rams too much time and a timeout. I'm surprised Payton gagged like that.
I skimmed over the "offensive" part.Um you view DT and safety as an offensive need?
But yeah WR might be second on mine as well if Beasley is gone. Which I sort of expect to happen.
Zeke is perfectly fine as a receiver. We need a change of pace type back. Either a burner or (my preference) a bruiser.I thought the same thing about Zeke coming into this season but he made a few really nice catches that were 25+ yards down field this season.
