Tyrann Mathieu and Saints to re-visit talks

WhoDat?DrewDat said

Just makes absolutely no sense to spend pick #49 on a backup corner.

That's a TWENTY-SEVEN picks higher than Adebo who played fantastic for us last year.

If he wasn't drafted to play Safety... why the heck did we draft him?? No way he's starting over Adebo or Lattimore. Slots covered by CGJ.

Someone help me understand this??

Adebo isn’t a sure thing. I like him but he’s not a lock. CJGJ is going to be pricy and we have no money. Mayes may end up being forced into FS if PJW doesn’t do well/Mathieu doesn’t sign…so Taylor could start at SS in 2023. Clearly, the Saints value his versatility and ability to potentially start at numerous spots, as well as be a special teams ace in the meantime. I don’t think Taylor is in the FS plans though
