DE failures: will Granderson and Baun teach FO a lesson?
Marcus Davenport
Payton Turner
Isaiah Foskey
All picked in the first or second round, and all are busts. Foskey could turn out to be a role player but I don't think he has the drive to get better.
The prototype of the 270-300 lb DE is not working for us. I just re-watched Baun lined up at LE make a tackle behind the LOS on a shotgun run as he scraped across the field to clean up the play.
Granderson is an UDFA having a pro bowl season. Luckily, they learned from Trey Hendrickson and re-signed Granderson.
We couldn't keep Kaden Ellis. What will be the fate of Baun?
Will the draft strategy change instead of sticking to prototypes and positional hierarchy over talent?
I would argue that the combination of the three picks of Davenport, Turner and Penning is the third worse setback after losing Brees and Payton.
