Marcus Davenport OMFG!!!

Makes sense as Floyd is definitely not a power guy.

Well there goes that

the Saints apparently really wanted him

[Sugashane]

You know what I just realized? When Shawn Oakman was getting all that hype, Davenport has turned into what a lot of guys thought Oakman would be.

Saints paid an unusually big price to draft Marcus Davenport

When the Saints were on the clock after the surprising decision to trade away next year’s first-round draft pick to move up in this year’s first round, there was widespread speculation that they must be planning to draft a quarterback. Because typically, that’s the only position that teams will give up two first-round draft picks to get.

Instead, the Saints drafted pass rusher Marcus Davenport.

A move like that is almost unheard of. The last time a team packaged two first-round draft picks to move up and draft a defensive player was in 2003, when the Jets sent two first-round picks to the Bears to select Dewayne Robertson.

And giving up two first-round picks for the 14th overall pick is unheard of: According to ESPN, it was the first time since the AFL-NFL merger that a team gave away two first-round draft picks to acquire a pick outside the Top 12.
