Tyrann Mathieu and Saints to re-visit talks

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??

Because things happen. The best you can do in the draft is accumulate the best players you can regardless of position. Checking boxes is an inferior strategy to accumulating talent because you never know what will happen tomorrow. Accumulate players not check marks.
