We needed a pass rusher to get to the next level. Barely escaped Newton and co. then the Vikings faceplant. It was a problem. We over paid but so what. Have to do it sometimes. I totally overpaid for a Caddy but we love the car! All the bells and whistles that actually provide some cool features. If one wants that stuff immediately it's gonna cost. We paid it and nothing is saying it should not work out. He's not tapped for talent and not injured. He is also lined up with one of the best and good coaching. All +++'s. I can't think of any real negatives other not not getting a bargain but we got that last year so splurge a little. We blew up the draft last year. Almost NEVER happens. Time to come back to reality.

Also to note, the "experts" claimed that there were only about 15 or so players this year worthy of a 1st round grade.

We nabbed one of them.

On paper, best Saints team to ever take the field IMO. Where is the weakness? Maybe depth on lines, LB's but everyone has that problem. Thinking we improve that with the remaining picks. Backup OL and a LB. Maybe a flyer QB or RB.

Saw Chris Simms and another saying he looked like a Clowney clone but he reminds them off Aldon Smith and DeMarcus Ware

If overpaying is the difference in getting to the QB and not getting to them then so be it. Be disappointed next year but thats next year

Dominant player (AS/when mind was right) & the other (Ware) is headed to the Hall of Fame. Marcus is worth the risk.

I wanted Lamar Jackson or Derwin James. I’m fine with this though. Great pick.

I don't see the issue with giving up a first rounder next season. As successful as I am expecting the Saints to be in 2019 that first rounder will be one pick prior to the first pick in the second round. Big deal.

When I see people question the competition Davenport went against and how he is from a small-time program it makes me think of a guy like Armstead.

The other side of that coin is that he probably didn't get the highest level of coaching in a smaller program, and he can really blow up with the help of the Saints' coaching staff.

A big fish in a little pond can only grow so big and needs a larger lake to reach full potential.

I don't think they overpaid... I couldn't care less about the 5th rounder or the 32nd pick next year.

Certainly no one said there were any players worth TWO first round draft grades
