On record, I don't like the cost of the Marcus Davenport pick at all - But I'm a Saints fan, I'm on board...
I'll critique it with y'all once we have a body of NFL work by Davenport so this will likely be a three year discussion... Davenport will be measured against other defensive linemen in this draft and we'll see if the costs of two No. 1s was worth the move... But in light of Payton's defense of the pick by drawing on a National Debt analogy, I have no doubt in my mind now he's a Democrat/RINO... That was probably the last thing Payton could've said to this fan to defend the pick though... |

Re: Saints draft Marcus Davenport after trading up in first round
Beyond the value assessment for the Saints, I enjoyed sitting there with my wife (telling the TV it will certainly not be a QB) while 80% of the talking heads (experts, including Mayok) on the panel were explaining why it would definitely be a QB (she’s looking at me like I’m a fool) and like a 1/2 time SuperBowl squib kick... Sean Payton shut hem up.

Re: Saints draft Marcus Davenport after trading up in first round
We are trying to fine tune a SB contender. QB does nothing for that effort. Freakin pundits.

Re: Saints draft Marcus Davenport after trading up in first round
I don't like giving up two firsts for one player. But then I didn't like giving up the next season's second for one player last year. And that worked out pretty well.

Re: Saints draft Marcus Davenport after trading up in first round
A lot of folks complained we didn't get a defensive end last year, some of the same folks complaining we got a defensive end this year. Saints needed a pass rusher in the worst way. Davenport is gonna be good. I dare say "special". I'm not buying the raw narrative. He competed in competitive 5A Texas High school ball, 4 years of college & was Def POY in his conference.
He'll be coached up, develop a few moves & has Cam as a mentor. Super high ceiling & only 21. Looks like a dawg. |

Re: Saints draft Marcus Davenport after trading up in first round
I get it, for several reasons
1. Win now, obviously 2. After Drew we should have a scary good defense (we'll need it) 3. He was the 2nd best DE in the draft 4. After the last couple of drafts, we are loaded with young talented prospects. Losing a draft pick doesn't hurt as much. 5. Our coaches know this kid, and his College coach well. We have a real good feel for his potential. 6. Our D-line coach, Ryan Nielson is notorious for developing young DL players |
