Davenport is a scheme-versatile defensive end best suited for gap-disciplined fronts that prioritize disciplined edge setting with the ability to penetrate and disrupt.
Year 1 rotational pass rusher who develops into an impact starter capable of double-digit sacks and consistent run disruption.
Any system that relies on him as a primary interior pass rusher or as a pure stand-up linebacker.
His blend of size, speed, and proven production suggests high upside in schemes that can leverage his explosive athleticism. If he isn't able to anchor against against linemen as an every down player and hold the edge, then there will be a problem. This should not be an issue given his strength.
Selected #14 overall in Round 1 of the 2018 NFL Draft by New Orleans Saints out of UTSA.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
