not directed at you, lion.
for those of you that are complaining about this pick, or the price paid for the pick, answer one question. what was available at pick 27 that would have been a sure fire starter? I did not see one. Other rotational guys, but I did not see any one individual that is rated highly enough to have full starting expectations.
regarding the high price paid for the pick, yes it was a lot. no questions asked. However, there is a window to play with an elite qb, and this short time frame must be taken advantage of. but i think people with this opinion are down playing the talent on the present roster, as well as the short Saints draft history of Kevin Ireland.

I don't see this being a high price. More than likely, we traded a very low 1st round pick to get a play making DE.
When the Jets traded 3 2nd round picks to move up 3 spots in the draft, people are saying how great the move was to get a QB and no one will remember those 3 second round picks. One of those 2nd round picks (37) was 10 spots lower than the Saints' pick (27).

false dilemma
also, it ignores the fact that Davenport is far from a "sure fire starter" and he cost a LOT more than 27 would have in isolation

so you agree if he's not a major contributor next year this is a disaster and we paid way too much

I'm a fan of the pick if Davenport pans out, but Will Hernandez would be a day one starter at guard or given valuable depth to a position that is pivotal to our team.
