Okay, it’s time to take some of the national media to task for what they’re saying about the Saints move to trade up and take Marcus Davenport in day one of the 2018 NFL Draft. The fact that they’re panning the pick at all is ridiculous but we’ll get to that.
The first point that needs to be made is that the trade with Green Bay to move up to 14 didn’t cost two first round picks. It cost one of this year’s fifth round picks and next year’s first round to improve this year’s first round pick.
