    they'd better not take a flyer on him in the first round.
    Very different report on Davenport:

    http://draftanalyst.com/senior-bowl-south-team-page

    Tues: Primarily lined up at defensive end. Looked super quick and very athletic. Quick with his hands and explosive and flashed impressive lower-body power. Struggles once engaged in a block and was manhandled by Alex Cappa on one down.

    Wed: Another solid practice for Davenport. He is an imposing figure and can be tough to handle. Davenport plays with great balance and body control and is never off his feet. He held his ground against double-team blocks and besides the power, showed excellent speed.
    People making a big deal about him getting flattened on one running play. He's a guy with a lot of potential upside. Lot of evaluation left to be done.

    The only thing that I keep coming back to is that if this guy was a sure thing and a guaranteed star, he'd go #1 in the draft with that size. He's going to be a project but I agree, lots of upside potential. Boom or bust pick, I wouldn't mind it I don't think. Worse case, he should be able to defend okay with that size alone.

    Packers need pass rush. Plenty of cheap FAs to play the run (Quentin Dial, RJF, Lawrence Guy, Ahmad Brooks).
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    his own words were most surprising.

    this quote from your post doesn't bode well:

    that's going to happen on every play where's he rushing...and this is against big-time college guys not pros. sounds like he's a project guy for some team who can afford to put low in a depth chart.

    give me a no-brainer even at a different position first.
