Our safeties were Malcolm Jenkins and Roman Harper... While many rave about Harper and his ability to rush the passer, he couldn't cover; In fact, he was horrible in coverage. Liken this thing with Harper to having a muscled-out Mustang that can't win a drag race but can competing in a light-duty class tractor pull... Jenkins obviously excelled once he left New Orleans and arrived in Philly - Coaching Anyone? Totally agree we currently just need some depth for the Defensive and Offensive Lines... Not happy at all we invested two No. 1s in one player to get a starter; too much on one player and more Damn-It-Sean/Mickster Draft Foolishness... |

Sean has a vision for Marcus D ... much like he did to get Alvin Kamara. If and when Davenport becomes a STUD, no one will care what was invested. |

Rick Leonard - Tackle
Converted DE and started 13 games for BC in 2017 at right tackle Okay pick but another project.... we had a lot of injuries up front last year. |
Re: Saints draft Marcus Davenport after trading up in first round
The scouting report on nfl.com is terrible
Lacks fundamentals Should land on a Practice squad |
Re: Saints draft Marcus Davenport after trading up in first round
This draft is reminding me of the 2014 one so far, a lot of picks on guys that have the words "raw, high upside and potential"
We know how that worked out, SJB, Davis tull etc |
Re: Saints draft Marcus Davenport after trading up in first round
Why when draft look like they drafted awful prospect the blame is on Payton but when it turn out to be a exceptional pick Ireland is the reason? :/

Re: Saints draft Marcus Davenport after trading up in first round
I am gonna say it and will gladly eat my words if I am wrong. THESE DRAFT PICKS STINKS and I wont be surprise if all of them is out the league in 3 years. At least when Dikta trade every pick we still had Ricky Williams for some years and was able to trade him for a 1st rd pick to Miami.

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) |

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 |

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.

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 |
Re: Saints draft Marcus Davenport after trading up in first round
And I'm tired of hearing people say we "Gave up two draft picks..."
It's so wildly inaccurate I'm shocked guys like Tripplette keep saying it. We swapped firsts (net net) and gave a (likely) LOW first rounder and 5th rounder in 2019. In return we selected a 6'6" DE who's improved every single season he's played the position. |

I can't think of another position on this team that we needed as badly as a DE opposite Jordan. Maybe another high quality DT to rotate with Davison? Hughes may end up being that guy tho. |
Re: Saints draft Marcus Davenport after trading up in first round
The more I read about this guy the more I like him. He has all the characteristics that you want in a DE and he interviews very well. I like him.

Re: Saints draft Marcus Davenport after trading up in first round
I am not saying Davenport isn't worthy of being selected 14th overall. I am saying he isn't worthy of being selected 14th +32nd (at the bare minimum winning super bowl) + 147th. I can't understand the jump when you sign Okafor and drafted Hendrickson in the 3rd. THE ONLY PLAUSIBLE reason for making this trade is that Davenport is a future HOF prospect. I see no more than a Renaldo Turnbull possible as less Courtney Brown. If he next Ricky Jackson pass the plate of crow I will eat it with a smile.

Re: Saints draft Marcus Davenport after trading up in first round
Would you trade trade Taven Bryant and Stephan Anthony for Cam Jordan?
I Would in a NY second. |
Re: Saints draft Marcus Davenport after trading up in first round
The more I read about Davenport the more excited I am to see him in the black and gold. I love his demeanor. He comes across as a very intelligent hard working young man who is willing to put in the time to hone his craft. Who Dat!
