Everything I offer contributes to the physical and ratings’ dynamics of the players coming out of school. The similarities I mentioned were physical measurables. See their draft ratings and combine results they are very similar.
I spoke directly to weight never style.
However, as long as you took the time to try to disprove a fictional opposite position, It incentivized me to research your position for a minute or two for credibility, partly because I don’t remember anyone saying Davenport couldn’t BEND or SPEED RUSH.
I didn’t have to go far (literally the first article on Davenport). Both Draft Blaster and Daniel Jeremiah speak to directly to Marcus Davenports excellent bendability. ZERO of the SEVEN separate analysis’ of Davenport supports your claim of him being “NOT BENDY”, yet TWO speak directly to that being one of his positive features.

1. Are we talking about the same guy?
2. Are you suggesting Burns is a better fit for a 3-4 than Marcus Davenport was coming out of college?
3. Are you claiming Burns should go ahead of where Davenport got picked and if you’re so high on him.. how much better? Top 10? Top6? Where does he deserve to be in that grouping in your estimation?
4. Of those 2 guys, which is likely to be a better 3 down OLB in a 3-4?
