For the record I hope Davenport has a fantastic year and Exceeds what Trey gave us last year. Hope he leads the league in sacks and is DPOY. Of course that would make him impossible to sign to a long term deal and he would go the way of the T. rex. That would surely make him worthy of 2 first round picks.

If hoping he does so, but recognizing that up to this point he hasn’t even been able to outperform a player the team got for “what was essentially “ a high fourth round pick makes me a hater in some peoples opinions, then fine. That’s not a successful use of two picks in my opinion even if they had been two high 2nd round picks, much less the actual first rounders they were.

It has not been debunked. Sure, successful players can come from any position, but taken as a whole the higher picks on average have produced the greater chance of success. They are picked earlier for a reason.

Not to mention that there was no way to know the extra pick was going to be a low first rounder...an unexpected team injury here or there and that could have been a much higher pick. Hell, they finished 7-9 multiple times without serious injuries. You are using the hindsight knowledge of what the unknown-at-the-time extra pick ended up being to justify your incorrect opinion, but not allowing me to use my hindsight knowledge of his injuries to back up my correct one. You can’t have it both ways.

I don’t get the haters reference.

I don't get where you are getting your numbers. Pick number 33 is a high 2nd rounder, no? I don't know where you came up with 38. :confused: and I don't know where you came up with 25. :confused: The two picks traded were the 27th and the 30th. There is very little difference between the 27th and 33rd. There is even less difference between the 30th and the 33rd. Therefore, there is very little difference between the two picks we traded and two high 2nd rounders just as I stated.

Once again, who cares what pick any player was picked with? Once the pick is made it becomes moot. It doesn't matter. Water under the bridge. Nothing constructive can come from complaining. Personally, I like what I have seen from Davenport when he has been on the field. Obviously the front office has, as well, or they wouldn't have picked up his fifth year option. Hopefully he'll have a healthy career from this point on and prove all of the haters wrong. There's no reason he can't follow, or surpass, the production of Cam Jordan which really didn't come to consistent fruition until his 7th season in the league. All I am asking for is patience. It appears that isn't possible for some, however.

They are taken at the higher position because they are perceived to have a better chance at success. Is that always the case? No, of course not, but statistically speaking it is. Players taken in the first round have a success rate of 83%. Players selected in the second round have a success rate of 70%.

Does that mean the success rate of every 1st rounder is the same? Of course not. You would have to agree that players taken in the top 15 of the draft have a greater chance of success than those taken in the next 17 slots, no? That's only logical. Otherwise what would it matter what a team's picks were?

In your mind, perhaps. Can you tell me honestly that you believe all players historically taken in the first round after the top 15 have just as high a probability of success as those taken in the top 15 slots?

I was just using random numbers as you were randomly saying high second round picks were given up. At the time the trade was made it was for the Saints current first round pick, which was known, and a future first round pick which was not. That pick could have ended up been anywhere from 1-32. If you want to use hindsight to say it was only for pick 30 to support your opinion I can use hindsight to say they should have knew Davenport would be injured to support mine.

As far as your comment about my “complaining“ about it, this is an example of you labeling people who disagree with you. Despite your indication I don’t hate the man and I am not complaining he is on the team. I think the price paid for his services has been too much and, as JP pointed out, that is not his fault. It’s a fan’s off-season opinion based upon evaluation of a certain draft pick the Saints made related to his performance and production. It’s no different than when I evaluate the move to spend a second round future pick for a third round pick to make the move to get Kamara as a good move. If I point out that was a good move am I an ass-kisser?

First off, I didn't say YOU were complaining. If you go back and read what I wrote that was not directed at anyone in particular. I made it a point to word it in that manner. Your instances of referencing the two first round picks are rare. Now, if you mentioned it say, over and over again, ad nauseum, it may fall into the spectrum of complaining.

:p

As for the future 1st rounder in the trade, that would have been an educated prediction by the front office. At the time we had arguably the best all round roster in the league. The chances of our finishing very far from the very top of the league were slim. I believe, in fact, that either Payton or Loomis alluded to their expecting that future pick to be at the tail end of the round in an interview after the trade was made. It turns out they were right. If they felt we would have been looking at a top 15 pick, for example, that next season I seriously doubt the trade would have been made in that form.

As for the price paid, patience as I mentioned earlier. We have only seen the first three of the contracted five years and have yet to see the remainder of the career after that. It is a tad early to be declaring the end value, don't you think?

Well, in a reply/quote to me you ask what good comes from complaining. That’s pretty close I’d say. And nowhere to my knowledge did I say give up on him. I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned that extending his fifth year option was a mistake. I am pointing out that, thus far in his playing career, his numbers have not been worth 2 picks above 33 and I don’t think passing it off on injuries is accurate. His production has been no better than say Tre’quan Smith’s has been on offense. I wouldn’t say Smith has lived up to two picks in the high 20s either.

But, I'm not wrong. I repeatedly stated that higher picks have statistically proven out to have a higher rate of success than those picks taken lower in the draft. You just claimed to have cited something previously that debunks that. I must have missed it. Could you please share that definitive proof again?

Where have you shown that picks cumulatively taken lower in the draft demonstrate a probability of success that equals or exceeds picks taken in higher slots? I've searched but cannot find any reference.

All you have shown is that the Saints have made some successful picks in the middle rounds of the draft recently. I would certainly hope so. But that in no way "debunks" the FACT that higher percentages of successes come from higher slotted picks consistently throughout the draft. Always have and always will.

I see your proof as "bunk" rather than any sort of "debunking".

What you presented in no way proves that mid round picks are just as likely to be a success as earlier round picks. All you listed were some successful mid round picks. No sh!t, Sherlock! There of course have to be successful picks made in the mid rounds or the historical success rate of those rounds would be zero percent. I have never said you cannot find success drafting in the middle or late rounds. What I have pointed out is that the success rate drops on a linear basis from the very earliest picks in the draft to the very last picks in the draft. Outlying successes are all part of that logical progression.

I really don't know why I even try when you continue to ignore the facts and logic involved.

Wonder if fans will be more patient with him than Dan Arnold?

PFF seems to do the best job of the national talking heads in their analysis of the line; honestly thought it was a bit higher than expected...

Finishing 8th last season seemed about right and where was expecting them to be ranked currently...

Saints might be onto something by moving Juwan Johnson to tight end

by Leigh Oleszczak

The New Orleans Saints are trying something different at tight end, as they reportedly are trying to transition Juwan Johnson to a tight end after he spent last season as a wide receiver. Nick Underhill of New Orleans Football first broke the news earlier this week about how Johnson could be making the switch and Johnson confirmed it on his social media not long after.

Johnson went undrafted out of Oregon in 2020 and didn’t pack much of a punch for the Saints as a rookie. Johnson played for Oregon one year and had previously spent four years at Penn State. He put up a career-high in touchdowns at Oregon with four while hauling in 467 yards receiving. He had 701 yards receiving in 2017.

The Saints had a lot of receivers on their roster last year, which made it hard for Johnson to stand out. The same could be said for this year, even without a true WR2 on the roster. That’s why this move makes sense because the tight end position has more room for someone to step in and shine.

By making this transition, Johnson will have more opportunities to show what he can do, which wouldn’t be the case if he were staying with the other wide receivers. At tight end, the Saints have Adam Trautman and Nick Vannett as locks to make the 53-man roster but who else makes it? Johnson might be able to sneak in there with an impressive summer.

Johnson being used as a tight end makes sense, as he showed impressive blocking skills during his college career. Geoff Schwartz, a former NFL offensive lineman, highlighted this block from Johnson when he was at Oregon. The Saints could certainly use this kind of production at tight end and if Johnson can bring this level of efficiency to the position, this move will look brilliant down the stretch.

Lol.

Can Tim even run routes and catch/block? I don't think he's ever played the TE position in his life.

Another uphill battle.

He's got the size and likely the desire, but he doesn't have great speed (4.71). Then again, Gronkowski only ran a 4.69, so who knows.

A 4.689 sure but with ability to "separate" with precise route running/pass catching ability. Desire is great and all but Gronk was a legit high school/collegiate TE who had tape at the position.

Not to mention he is an above avg blocker & extremely tall and long. Tebow is what 6'2?

But hey, hoping all the best for TT.
