And he would have not have seen the field for at least 2 years. It is absolutely ridiculous to listen to the criticism that the Saint are getting for this pick.

The Saints are in win now mode: So they should have picked a project QB that won't help them win now.

The Saints took a raw DE with tremendous upside: So they should have taken an even more raw QB prospect whose biggest knock is he needs A LOT of work to develop as an NFL passes.

The Saints gave up too much for Davenport: So the Saints should have made the same trade to take a more risky player.

WTF is wrong with people? Sure Davenport is a risky pick. So was Lattimore. So was Kamara. So was Ramczyk.

But you can't tell me that Jackson was less risky, more developed at his position, and in a better position to help the team win now than Davenport.

The cost to get them was a lot less. Again, if Brees gets hurt next season, that GB would be getting a pretty high pick from us. We have enough talent to avoid a disaster of a season, but we finish with a pretty brutal schedule.

People bitched when SP traded up to take Kamara because the Saints already had "Adrian Peterson and Mark Ingram!!!"

You can't fix stupid.

They are always bitching, and will always bitch, about "the price" whether it's a projected player value vs picks given up...or a literal contract/cap cost for a veteran.

What they haven't realized is that SP doesn't mind at all going into debt (by draft or player compensation) to get the weapon he wants on his team.
