New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton wanted to add a difference maker on his team's defensive line as they entered the 2018 NFL Draft. The Saints would make one of the bigger deals of the first round, sending their 1st round pick last year (#27 overall), last year's 5th round pick (#147 overall), along with their 1st round pick this year (30th overall) to the Green Bay Packers in order to move to the 14th overall selection. New Orleans used that pick to select defensive end Marcus Davenport from U.T.S.A. Davenport had a solid rookie season, finishing with 4.
