He’s right you know. Not slow, but his jump on the snap def looks behind.

He's right that Davenport is a third round talent?

Him looking slow off the ball definitely doesn’t have to do with the fact he played standing up in college or that’s he’s battling through a groIN injury all camp and had his whole leg wrapped up after the game. Guy is just a terrible ATHLETE

He definitely is extremely slow to respond to snap, but he makes up for it with out of this world athleticism.





The way you guys are unable to accept anything negative about the guy, but then constantly say, "he can't be an all-pro out of the gates" seem to be very conflicted. He either is an allpro right now, or he has things to work on.

I support the pick, and I'm on the davenport bandwagon, but I'm also firmly planted in reality and can accept the fact he has a ton of issues to work out.

Of course he does. I wouldn’t say he has a ton of issues. He needs to work on his get off and pad level. His hand usage has already improved

All I know is his speed once hes going is elite. That play he made on the jet sweep last week is only a play a handful of people can physically make. Despite whatever amount of issues he has to work on; he has a few abilities that put him into another strata of potential.

I think the people here just prefer posters who are more knowledgeable of the game than you. You come off as if you are watching football for the first time in your life.

I believe he could have 8 sacks and 3 forced fumbles in a single game and you would still never give him credit.

Unbelievable. I’m still in disbelief that they gave up a 1st round next year for a Project d lineman. Even after the Saints had arguably their best draft ever. They still don’t value draft picks. Sickening

MD looks like he is going to be a terrific player. You are not seeing what I am seeing.

I too believe he is slow off the ball. Seems to be lining up just a little behind other D lineman in a 4 point stance. I’m a little concerned too.

He might be but this is not the type of guy you pick 14th overall and give up a 1st rounder in 2019. This is a 3rd round pick or later.

I love the delusion on this website

Are people really that concerned with a rookie coming off the ball a tad slow? That’s a pretty easy fix.

No I didn’t say that, just right about slow coming off the ball.
