The New Orleans Saints‘ 2021 offseason focus has been mostly on the quarterback position, and understandably so. The Drew Brees era came to an end and the Saints had to focus on finding a way to not only re-sign Jameis Winston, but really to get out of salary cap hell altogether before they could do much to actually improve the roster, or even keep it intact.

It should come as no surprise, then, that the 2021 NFL Draft for the Saints was rather underrated as a whole, especially because rumors of a trade-up the draft board didn’t come to fruition.

Still, the Saints made some very intriguing selections throughout the first two days of the 2021 Draft, all of them on the defensive side of the ball.

They opened things up by taking Houston pass rusher Payton Turner, one of the more surprising first-round picks based on “consensus” big boards which would have had Turner going closer to the end of the second, early third-round range.

In the second round, the Saints took Ohio State linebacker Pete Werner, a pretty underrated player for the Buckeyes who excelled on all three downs.

In the third round, the New Orleans Saints made one of the more fascinating picks of the entire class when they used the 76th overall selection on Stanford cornerback Paulson Adebo.
