Moving up is expensive.

The competition for Davenport is almost identical to DWare's & KMack's when they were drafted. MD's measurables compared to these 2:

MD 6'6" 264...DWare 6'4" 251...KMack 6'3" 251
40 Times---MD 4.58...DW 4.60...KM 4.65
Bench---MD 22...DW 27...KM 23
Vertical---MD 33.5"...DW 38.5...KM 40.0"
20 yd Shuttle---MD 4.41...DW 4.07...KM 4.18
Broad Jump---MD 124"...DW 122"...KM 128"
3 Cone---MD 7.2...DW 6.83...KM 7.08

Cam Jordan's measurables: 6'4" 287
40---4.78
Bench---25
Vertical---31.0"
20 yd Shuttle---4.37
Broad Jump---117.0"
3 Cone---7.07

Ware 8 sacks & 47 tackles rookie year
Mack 4 sacks & 59 tackles rookie year
Jordan 1 sack & 18 tackles rookie year

I wouldn't expect MD to tear up the league his rookie year. For the other guys mentioned, all had break-out years in their 2nd/3rd year. My guess is that it took them that long to adjust to NFL speed. MD will have the same. If he's motivated & has the right coaching, look out.

One of my all time favorite quotes.

Lamar is amazing; For college. NFL, where has his style ever worked out? Start running around among superior athletes and they are going to send a clear message just like they always do. It will not be tolerated.

NFL.com synopsis of AK41's weaknesses last year: "WEAKNESSES Vision can be hit or miss. Not an instinctive runner. Needs to see running lane develop and is missing a feel for reading progressions of his blocks. Makes inconsistent decisions on stretch plays. Can be his own worst enemy on third level. Will run himself into a tackler rather than setting him up for a downfield blocker. Consistently cuts left when given an open-field choice against tackler. With knee injuries in his background, combine medicals could come into play. Needs to tuck ball high and tight to prevent fumbles."

Giving up next years 1st round pick and this years 5th is expensive and I'm not sure how I feel about it yet.
