There is no question about Davenport's abilities. That has not been an issue. It has been the injuries that have limited the playing time. When he's been in there he looks great. Injuries happen to EVERY player at one time or another.

Did we really just draft another Marcus Davenport -_-

I hope so. Davenport is going to be a stud now that the injuries are behind him. He's looked great so far in his limited time.

Hmmm don't agree.

Guy has been extremely underwhelming.

For the phenom athlete he was pegged to be, he has not lived up to any kind of hype.

12 sacks in 37 games, roughly 1 every 3 games, which makes around 5 sacks a season. Not the guy that 2 first round picks should be spent on.

He's played hurt. That turf toe was hindering at minimum. While his sack counts might not be high his pressures have been among the leaders. He has shown flashes of brilliance when healthy. There's a reason why his fifth year option was picked up. He's also been used more in run defense than in passing situations.

You want him to be better than Davenport, not another one. No matter how you want to slice it, he's underwhelmed since he's been here. That doesn't mean he can't still be a very good player, but he needs to stay healthy and produce. Cost and production hasn't added up and that's reality.

I think it's great you're an overly optimistic Saints fan Guido but sure do **** out some rainbows.

And others around here do nothing but b!tch, and moan, and complain about everything. That's the one thing I hate about the draft. It's like clockwork.

We probably drafted another Cameron Jordan. We shall see.

Same here.

From reading up on Turner, he started off at DT then transitioned to DE. Guy can play both positions. Key word here is versatility … considering we lost Sheldon, Brown & Hendrickson.
