Because he’s an overreactionary retard like 75% of our fan base

Evidently it is.
The draft is about upside. This guy has massive upside so he was worth the price. He may or may not work out but either way it wasn't a mistake.

That guy Schwartz is a complete arse clown to say that Davenport would be there at 27. I think the team drafting right at 15 would have taken him instead of Edmunds the OLB.

no it absolutely is a mistake when the talent doesn't pan out. See Sullivan. See Anthony.

Sullivan was the worst. I still am not over that catastrophe of a draft

He was going at 14, whether it was the Packers or another team that wanted him, knowing the Packers were going to draft him if they stayed put...
Dude is going to be a monster, and with the young DL talent we have, we should be set, provided we re-sign Davison... if not, i expect us to slide Hendrickson to DT with Jordan and Davenport serving as our DE's...

That article was all over the place.
Firstly, there is never a guarantee that the player would have been there at 27 or even 20, for that fact. If so, dude should be in a front office.
B, dude is already calling for LJ to start over Flacco if he struggles.
Three, Falcons to the super bowl because of Ridely? Does he know they have a struggling O-line and Defense?
Bad article and you should be ashamed to have linked it.

Decisions are made at the margin. You can only make decisions based off of the information that you currently have. You can't rationally retroactively judge a past decision as being bad at the time it was made based off of new information that was not available when the decision was made. There is an intrinsically large amount of unknown when it comes to the draft. Even the best decisions are gambles.
Now you can say that some decisions were destined to fail because they used a bad process, but that's completely different than saying that a decision is bad because the talent didn't work out.

The Saints made a stupid trade plain and simple.They don't have a clue. They could have

Thats a very sound and reasoned argument that im sure is based off of dozens of hours of scouting and research.

So the Saints knew they wouldn't work out and took them anyway?

They could have what?
Please enlighten us.

when a player of such value doesn't pan out, the whole pick and thought process was a mistake.

This is something that a lot of people on this forum get wrong. You can't use hindsight to judge whether a decision was good or not.
Sully for example was a huge need and he was a damn good player at Georgia. So it was a good decision that didn't work out.

Green Bay was going to take him with that pick

Nah

The pick is only a mistake if we’re looking for Davenport’s replacement in the next two years
