The New Orleans Saints addressed their biggest need on the first night of the 2018 NFL draft, selecting defensive end Marcus Davenport from Texas-San Antonio.
Unwilling to wait until the 27th pick in the first round, the Saints made a huge leap to secure 14th overall pick, originally held by the Green Bay Packers, to select Davenport, who is widely considered the second best edge rusher in this year's draft. Although the Saints have All-Pro defensive end Cameron Jordan, the team has long desired another player who can consistently pressure the quarterback, and Thursday's trade indicates they think Davenport can be that man. The Saints made a big move to secure the 14th pick, sending Green Bay the 27th pick in the first round, the 147th overall pick in the fifth round as well as next year's first-round pick. read more on NOLA |
