Tyrann Mathieu and Saints to re-visit talks

Then it's weird to spend such a high pick on someone who has zero chance in starting right?

If we drafted him to play backup CB and to potentially replace someone IF they leave, that seems ridiculous for such a high pick.

The Saints drafted Turner last year to be a backup at DE. There was not going to be ANY player drafted in the 2nd round that would have started for the Saints this year. So they took something they liked that they felt could contribute as a backup to multiple spots/be great on special teams and play a key role in 2023.
