Re: Saints draft Marcus Davenport after trading up in first round
I have to be quite honest and say I have never watched a UTSA game and knew very little about Mr. Davenport.
Been reading and watching everything about him now and I like the pick. When you have a small-school prospect like this you wanna see him dominate the competition and he does that, oftentimes destroying it. He seems like very grounded person. Articulate and comes across as mature and intelligent in interviews. That should help him make the jump. His physical stats are obviously off the charts. If he can live up to his physical potential he will be worth 5 first rounders. What I like the very best about him thou is something he said in an interview when asked about the best part of his game; "My work ethic" was the answer and with an that gives me great hope that his potential is within reach for him, he seems to understand whats needed to reach it. |

Re: Saints draft Marcus Davenport after trading up in first round
Interesting fact
2017 we had 5 picks in the top 76, all starting for us 2018 we had 1 pick in the top 90 ( our 2nd pick was pick 91) |

Re: Saints draft Marcus Davenport after trading up in first round
You know what? Zach Strief makes a very good point here and calms some of my worries about the Davenport situation...
Zach Strief @ZachStrief Elite defensive ends cost either very high draft picks or LOTS of money. If you find one you love, I'd MUCH rather hit on one in the draft than HOPE one becomes available in free agency. Trust your assessment and get the guy you believe in. 7:10 AM · Apr 29, 2018 |

Given the scarcity of impact making edge rushers in the league today I agree completely!

Re: Saints draft Marcus Davenport after trading up in first round
I think it's a great pick. Swing for the fences. We need to win now. Drew won't be here forever and whoever comes next will not be as good so suring up the defense and adding OL to help the run game and pass protection will help once Drew leaves.

 It just appears that there are a few pairs around that definitely are, though.

Re: Saints draft Marcus Davenport after trading up in first round
I'm fine with Ryan Nielsen getting the guy he wants. If you weren't paying attention, ALL of his D lineman from NC State were drafted this year. ALL of them.
Besides, not the FA market for DEs in 2019 is that great either.... 2019 NFL Free Agents Tracker | Spotrac |
