2. He's brawn, and brains: Davenport may be an imposing figure on the gridiron, but he's got a softer side off of it. He's been known to keep a journal and is pretty active online as an activist. He's been seen wearing feminist-themed t-shirts, and he's*posted his own poetry on his Twitter account.*

Jeff Huehn

Oh crap... just what the Saints need... a pseudo feminist activist poet.

Just think guys with our Secondary and if we can keep our LB's healthy and Davenport on the line with Cam we could be the best defense in the league but we're not done yet! The organization has decided a win now approach so we may not have any picks left for next year after they're done!

Hard to say it’s a win-now approach when we draft a developmental pass rusher from a Conference USA school.

I think everyone is 50 50 on his development. I think by week 1 he'll have all the development he needs and the first few games maybe a learning experience but remember we'll have 2 or 3 edge rushers going after the QB on every play.

Not a big fan. Too high of a price. Looks stiff. Competition was low even for college. Got a lot of his stats standing up which lessened the already low resistance. But, I get it. It was a need. Everyone who lined up opposite Jordan missed time. The staff clearly loved the guy. He'll certainly get his opportunity.

Re: Saints draft Marcus Davenport after trading up in first round

So for those of us who like to keep track of this sort of thing... It doesn’t look like we had any private workouts or even meetings with Davenport in the draft process.

There is a connection however: UTSA head coach Frank Wilson and our D-Line coach Ryan Nielsen coached together at Ole Miss.

The coach is why I like Breeland Speaks DE from Ole Miss in the 4th. We might not do it now because of Marcus but it can never hurt to have too many. Competition is good and makes them hungry!
