Saints' D-Line and Development

We Draft D-lineman all day AND early. The problems are:

A. They go through growing pains
B. They can't stay healthy
C. We have a hard time developing them

A. The growing pains are real with the d-linemen we draft. As early as we draft them, they are SUPPOSED to come out Game 1 with their hair on fire. We haven't gotten that type of action in a while since drafting them early; which we always do.

B. Our D-lineman that we draft early can't stay healthy. I know 14-16 games is grueling; but the games you play, we don't see production; so we often worry what is going on when you are NOT on the field; especially when trading a future first round to get you (Davenport).

C. As talented as our D-lineman are in college, every now and then, we see flashes; but nothing consistent. Third down is the money down, no way you shouldn't be pressuring the quarterback more; but looking for your check every Tuesday. Our division is talented, but as many picks we invent into specifically our DE's we don't see production, if not can't staying on the field. You cant ask Cam to keep making plays for what Davenport and Turner should be doing consistently. Is it a coaching issue? It cant be a talent issue with us drafting them so early and being high on the draft boards.
