Come back nect March and ill give you a honest opinion on if i liked the pick

We are trying to fine tune a SB contender. QB does nothing for that effort. Freakin pundits.

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.

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.

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

Good Points in why the selection was made.

I love the posts I'm seeing where folks are saying I love the pic but we should have offered less. LOL. Give me a break and put some faith in our FO. Or maybe give yourself a little less credit.

DO YOU REALLY THINK THESE GUYS DON"T KNOW HOW TO NEGOTIATE?! They know what they're doing, which is why they are where they are.

Plays the run well, true DE size and athleticism. Physical beast. True pass rushers are very hard to find. Coach Neilson has a serious player to work with.

Damn the expense.

A lot of folks were upset about both Lattimore and Kamara last year. They aren't now. Any player can be a bust. Is he Clowney or Mingo? We shall see.
