Davenport may have a slight edge in recorded pressures according to services like PFF, but compare their career stats...

Davenport 53 Tot Tkl; 10.5 Sacks; 4 FF; 0 FR; 2 PD; 0 DTD

Hubbard 115 Tot Tkl; 14.5 Sacks; 2 FF; 1 FR; 5 PD; 1 DTD

That's Two First and a Fifth vs the investment of a 3rd Round pick...

I like Davenport, even have him on my FF team; and the same with Ingram; but I hated the poor draft management of spending multiple picks when you can find that rookie contract production down the line...

And, whether those who disagree about Davenport the player, you can directly attribute further multipick moves down the line to that overspend on Davenport (McCoy, Ruiz, Baun, Trautman)...

The draft history is there; unfortunately, Payton still has yet to respect the history to learn from it...

JP, the thing is that we have a stocked roster and all the cut draft picks just end up on another teams roster. Payton has a vision! His team is loaded and he's looking for a few more dominant draft picks to complete the roster. I'm fine with trading picks to get the missing parts of the puzzle. Davenport is exciting as hell to watch and he is an impact player when he is on the field.

Remember ya'll. He didn't have a substantial injury history before coming here. I thought and still think it was a solid gamble. I've always said that Davenport will make us forget the cost but injuries might have to make me rethink that position. I hope he gets his unrelated injuries in check this year.
