If you can't read Rams' GM, Les Snead's shirt, it says, "**** Them Picks".

And what's wrong with Davenport? He's arguably the most impactful defensive lineman the Saints have when healthy and Turner hasn't even had a chance yet. Can you guarantee the Saints would be better off without Davenport and Turner than they would be with whomever would have been taken instead?

So you admit there is a logical argument to be made against the way the Saints do things RE the draft as the Rams prove by doing it differently and possibly better. Saints trade picks to move up into the first and the Rams don’t. They trade away their picks. That’s different. So your earlier statement was BS.

What’s wrong with Davenport is that his production has not been worth two firsts and a third. He’s done nothing more than Hendrickson who was obtained for a single 3rd rounder. What else could the team have gotten with those 2 extra picks?

Can you guarantee The Saints would NOT be better off had they not made moves for Davenport and Turner?….of course not. That’s a childish way to “defend” your position. We are discussing philosophies regarding approaching the draft. You stated that no logical argument can be made against the philosophy the Saints use. I just proved you wrong.
