I don't see much potential at all for that happening. I'm expecting Davenport to be so dynamic that they can't keep him off the field.

Sure there is. As much as we believe in his potential it is realistic to assume Davenport may not be ready for NFL starter level competition by week 1. But Training camp and preseason have a way of revealing it so we’ll see how it unfolds. I’m pulling for him as well.

I'm not worried about Davenport. For a dude that large and long, he hustles which translates to him wearing out opposing players & win late.

Coach Payton mentioned that big guys expend LESS energy & can stay healthy which probably meant going up to get him in the draft vs sitting and taking a guy like Landry.

I really believe we could potentially have a Jason Taylor/Ware type player in New Orleans for many years to come.

Jonathan Williams
Daniel Lasco

IMO both of these guys will have to play extremely well at camp to ensure a roster spot in 2018.

I'll never piss on a guys parade but Taysom needs to really show well at camp. Out running defenders was nice at BYU but the NFL is a totally different animal.

First question I have for Hill is if he can consistently throw accurate passes (see Garrett Grayson) in the pocket? How is his throwing mechanics? Running QB's always scare me.

Training camp awaits .

Re: 2018 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook

Depending on what AK does I can see MI coming back and seeing himself out of a job. Williams, Scott and Edmunds have the ability to spell AK when needed. Trade MI during the last week of his suspension. No way we resign him after this offseason. Some team will be Hurting for a RB and he stil has talent. Probably get a conditional rd 4 that could be a rd 3. Crap, we got a rd 5 for Peterson which did nothing for us.
