this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; 2. He's brawn, and brains: Davenport may be an imposing figure on the gridiron, but he's got a softer side off of it. He's been known to keep a journal and is pretty active online as an activist. He's been ...

Re: Saints draft Marcus Davenport after trading up in first round
Just think guys with our Secondary and if we can keep our LB's healthy and Davenport on the line with Cam we could be the best defense in the league but we're not done yet! The organization has decided a win now approach so we may not have any picks left for next year after they're done!

I think everyone is 50 50 on his development. I think by week 1 he'll have all the development he needs and the first few games maybe a learning experience but remember we'll have 2 or 3 edge rushers going after the QB on every play.

Re: Saints draft Marcus Davenport after trading up in first round
Not a big fan. Too high of a price. Looks stiff. Competition was low even for college. Got a lot of his stats standing up which lessened the already low resistance. But, I get it. It was a need. Everyone who lined up opposite Jordan missed time. The staff clearly loved the guy. He'll certainly get his opportunity.

Re: Saints draft Marcus Davenport after trading up in first round
So for those of us who like to keep track of this sort of thing... It doesn’t look like we had any private workouts or even meetings with Davenport in the draft process.
There is a connection however: UTSA head coach Frank Wilson and our D-Line coach Ryan Nielsen coached together at Ole Miss. |
