As far as Saints 1st round picks go I can get behind this selection. It makes sense. The need for disruption up front cannot be overstated. They needed a disruptive force at DT and that's what they got.
They used the free SP pick on a high risk/high reward top 10 talent. They swung for the fences and I don't blame them. They didn't overthink this pick. They had a big time need at DT and they're gambling on big time talent.
