My father always preached to me the difference between a need and a want. You need clothes...you want the latest Tommy Hilfiger apparel.
So, it pains me when I see those in the media write articles about how the Saints “need” for Marcus Davenport to start to establish himself because they “want” some shred of evidence to surface that justifies New Orleans relinquishing a first round pick in the 2019 NFL draft to move up and select him 15th overall.
Things like that lead to setting unattainable expectations, which can be dangerous when you are dealing with young players who are under the scrutiny of whomever to perform quickly.
