Because Davenport has significantly more upside than Landry. The only DE in this draft that has the tool kit Davenport has is Chubb. Landry may rush the passer better as a rookie, but by there second year they will likely be on even footing. By the third year Davenport will start to distance himself. When are looking at draft prospects, I try to look past what I am going to get immediately and focus more on the value they will have over the duration of their career.
I get that he has potential but in the top 20 you're looking for a little less of a project coming out of a small school.
I also think it's a stretch to say he has more upside than Landry. He's bigger and longer, that's about it.
Landry has a great first step and natural bend around the edge you can't teach. We've also actually seen him play with his hand in the dirt and win in more ways than just a bull rush like Davenport has.
