Pass Rusher In Hand, Saints Take Aim At Unlocking Marcus Davenport's Immense Potential

Two first round picks and a fifth - lot of pressure on all involved to have immediate outstanding results...

Another reason I don't like Payton's call to spend that kind of draft capital on one player that's not a franchise quarterback...

History tells us it has rarely worked out so far. Let's hope this time is one of those that spells success.

Time to move on, JP. It's unhealthy to dwell on what might have been. Much better to look forward to what might be ahead.

It was a huge price to pay but defensive line was our biggest weakness. Im still not sold completely on the move but its time to go for it now while we still have the best quarterback in the N.F.L. If we stay healthy I wouldn't trade our roster for any teams in the league.

I still don't see the price as being huge at all. We trade a late 1st rounder from 2018 and what should be a far later 1st in 2019 along with a fifth we really didn't need to move WAY up to get exactly the player we wanted.

A bird in the hand is worth more than two in the bush.
