For me, Trey is just a quality backup. Big fall off from Okafor to him when "setting the edge". Better as a pass rusher vs run defender.

I think most of the Saints coaches believe that Davenport will become a 85-90% snap player in 2019.

Keep an eye on Porter Gustin at camp

Well, for those that wanted more veteran depth for the run - that's off the table...

jeanpierre · 05-15-2019, 07:05 AM

Other than another veteran offensive lineman, can't think of any position we're in need...

Sure there are positions that can be upgraded, but you're not gonna have All-Pros at every position; I like our roster balance and that we have among the best at the key skill positions...

I still don't see Alex Okafor's replacement on the roster ... yet.

Other than drafting Zach Allen, which we needed a Center more, I like what we have to work with going into Training Camp - But, you're absolutely right that's a void that someone better step up into for us or the defense will regress...

And, Davenport may not be worth two first round picks, but he'd better be a force for us opposite Cam, especially with Rankins possibly out for the year. Big "O" has a helluva opportunity to seize that position and I for one hope he does...

I'm still concerned about what the league intends (suspension) to do as it relates to the marijuana "issue".

Not sure they're going to do anything. It was a misdemeanor citation for certain items on the premises. They don't even hand down suspensions for first time actual failed tests and to the best of my knowledge I am unaware of any "failed test".

Good to know.

I guess Sean Payton, Jeff Ireland and the "Mickster" did the right thing in trading up in the 4th round to select David O huh

.

IMO the Saints office/scouting dept has done a hell of a job over the last 3, 4 years in finding talent on both sides of the ball

.

Hot take .. I'm calling it now. Erik McKoy and Gardner-Johnson will become studs in New Orleans.
