Re: Saints draft Houston DE Payton Turner with first-round pick
 

That’s kool AG, but what I think. The Davenport pick 3 years ago I said the same thing. Small conference small competition, now Houston more of a power conference but still not competing against the Alabama’s they did play BYU it’s a chance but better feeling with him than D-Port, again D-Port is holding his own barely. I’m gonna feel bad for the guy If he gets hurt again,

I respectfully don’t see it like this. With 32 picks in a round there is 15 % of a draft round completed when you go from pick 28 to pick 33. That’s significant. Sure, the difference between 32 and 33 may not be a lot, but 28 and 33 is. I can’t imagine the Saints would have drafted Taylor if say, Newsome hadn’t been chosen 2 picks earlier. Same way with how the chiefs swept in and drafted Mahomes right before the Saints. Those few spots can make a difference.

That's the way I see it, too.

Hopefully he isn’t busy at anime conventions instead of practicing like the guy he’s replacing.

Hendrickson's at an anime convention? I can't picture that.

He has the skills to be a top-notch player. I'm going to give him Time.

Turner has the attitude you want and sounds extremely excited on getting to work. I think I heard him say rookies will report on 5/13? …

Can't wait to see him, as well as all the other draft selections.
