Saints' Marcus Davenport 'doesn't specialize in just one thing'

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; A project we gave up a first round pick for doesn’t have me completely decided. For that trade you need someone who can come in and make an immediate impact. Don’t gamble with a 15th overall pick and especially one ...

A project we gave up a first round pick for doesn’t have me completely decided. For that trade you need someone who can come in and make an immediate impact. Don’t gamble with a 15th overall pick and especially one you traded to get to that slot.
Hope I’m wrong.

What makes you think Davenport can't come in and make an immediate impact? Where did you get the idea he was some sort of project? Some clueless media hack? Sure he has a lot more to learn and that just means he'll continue to get better and better, but he has the athleticism to make an impact on day one ... especially given the opportunity to work with Coach Neilsen.

Oh, and no need to hope ... you are wrong.

Here is a straight forward, unbiased analysis on moving up to get Davenport.

The Saints didn't give up too much for Davenport - YouTube
This has been my take all along and it makes perfect sense. Also factor in that we are returning 22 starters from last season's team that was one fluke play away from playing to go to another Super Bowl. If Davenport pans out as expected we would likely only be looking to fill out some backup slot with a late first rounder next year. Why not use it to pick up a stud starter this year instead?

Re: Saints' Marcus Davenport 'doesn't specialize in just one thing'

I hadn’t really thought about it until now, but Davenport has some VERY favorable matchups to start the season:

Buccaneers- LT Donovan Smith= Hot garbage

Browns- LT Shon Coleman= Is that who’s playing LT for them now? I don’t even know but it’s favorable for Davenport.

1st defensive passing play of the regular season

Davenport gets a sack.

I'll bet he is. My money says Ryan Neilsen really lobbied to get Davenport. He coached Bradley Chubb and the other three defensive linemen that were drafted this year at NC State so he knows talent and knows how to coach it up. He's going to want to start using his new toy right away, much like Payton did with Kamara.

It wouldn't surprise me one bit.

That's all well and good but most importantly, CAN HE BE OUR BACKUP QB?
