Payton Turner: How Do you like the Pick? (2 Viewers)

[Outbackjack]

Who cares...you've got no CB', weak lbers except for Davis and average safeties and receivers....so you draft a average DE. Good job staying average

Am I crazy, or have we not been 13-3/12-4 for the past 4 seasons.

No we haven’t won a super bowl, but we were the worst call in nfl history from probably winning one.

You do know the definition of “average”, don’t you?

I wonder what Coach Pete thinks...

Saints never fail to throw SSF a curveball in the first. I love it personally for the drama. As far as the player we'll see.

 

[NEBaghead]

I love when this board doesn't get what they wan't or expect. The melt is always entertaining. Never a dull moment with you all.

What I was thinking. These analyst are so good, no team will hire them as a GM.
Seems like as fans we always hate
Media darlings but if we don’t draft the media’s favorite draft picks we screwed up.

So, what if nobody wanted to trade with the Saints? I think Ireland has earned a little bit of credit. Just relax.

 

[Outbackjack]

Payton and Loomis?

Ireland.

I am confused about this pick. Athlon's 2021 Draft Guide does not even list him. Mike Detillier has him rated at #9. Are we getting him at a very cheap price? We had a S, and several LB's, WR's and 4- DE's rated over him.

Wow heck yea ! Oh wait what we took 3 round talent in the first that had 9.5 career sacks in 4 college seasons and is injury prone . Typical Saints , we as fans have not learned and I am guilty to in 30+ years as a Saints fan we never take the player the fans want . If its a QB we all want we might as well hang it up it ain't happening ... Ever .. History says so . We never take QBs firsts round . All that talk about trade to the top ten . Well the Perfect scenario happens and Mac Jones falls, what do we do ? Let Bill Belicheck have him at 15 something he probably had planed all along . We sit tight at our pick to take a guy we could have taken with our second rounder . We just put the QB of the future off until 2023 if Jameis Winston flops for us . QB class next year is not good .

The guy is a physical specimen. Looks like he has Onyemata type of potential with some development. I love his tools.

Not crazy about his injury history.

Cam Jordans time is now limited

Cam Jordan can stay on the field. He's never missed a game due to injury going back to his rookie year, which is an incredible record.

I see Turner missed an entire year due to foot injury, and then two games last year. Doesn't look too promising, just too much like another Rankins/Davenport who won't be available if we make the playoffs.

 

[OneBigEasy!!]

Another glass DE. Yay.

I am literally lol reading the reactions on SR right now about the pick. I have a feeling you will all eat your words with this pick.

He’s capable of bad drafts too. That 2018 draft was as bad as the 2017 draft was amazing.

His two games were Covid related.
