The picks given up don’t bother me because most 1st rounders never live up to their draft position anyway. Look at our roster, most of our studs aren’t 1st rd picks. AK himself is worth two 1st rounders himself. Just look at our secondary, outside of Jenkins, all of them have proven to be 1st rd trade players if that was considered. Basically, I’m saying we’ve been fortunate enough to land players who where drafted beyond the 1st rd, whom have played like 1st rounders. |

I don’t dislike the player. I don’t dislike his game. If he’d have stayed even somewhat healthy he would have warranted a 14th overall pick. But a heck of a lot more than a 14th was spent on him and he’s spent a heck a lot of time on the injured list. |

I know that’s few and far between but let’s not forget Ingram was injured most of his early career, same goes for Hendrickson. Also, the Saints don’t trade up unless they absolutely love that player. I would resign him to a low deal to see if he could get over the injury bug when his rookie contract is up. Just my opinion on Davenport. |

I'm sorry, but I simply do not get the angst over something that has absolutely no present relevance. All of this "what could have been" talk is useless. It's just another excuse to ***** and moan. ![]() |

They swapped a lower number first round 2018 pick for a higher numbered one Then gave Green Bay a higher number 2019 first round pick They also gave Green Bay a 3rd round pick. Essentially they took a much desired player Ended up giving up a third and a late first round pick Marcus looked good against Green Bay Lets hope he has the drive to thrive |
