Saints at the top of Davante Adams’ wish list [Raiders trade Adams to Jets for conditional 3rd ; Jets paying Adams’ entire remaining salary]

Big people beat up little people. It's a philosophy we've embraced for a while, specifically under Payton since he was a Parcells disciple. Bigger WR's, bigger DLineman (i hate our new philophsy of guys being smaller on the DL) but we need to get back to that in a way. Bresee was recently quoted as saying he was looking to integrate more power into his passrush.

I mostly agree. But I do sometimes wonder if needing/wanting those 6' 6" 280 lbs. DEs is part the reason we miss on so many DEs in the draft. Not many guys are that size and most of them go in the top 5. So they end up having to project how guys that size who are raw will develop. It also seem like guys like that tend to get hurt a lot. Not sure if it's that they are carrying too much weight on their frames or if those long arms and long legs tend to get tangled up with other players.
