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.

True, we "gave up" a first to move up to nab what may be the missing ingredient for a Superbowl team.

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.

EDIT: I was referring to the statement we "gave up two FIRST ROUND picks..."
