Saints draft Houston DE Payton Turner with first-round pick

FinSaint · 04-30-2021, 02:03 PM

I reserve judgement until the whole draft is done, because it has to be viewed in its entirety along with the following UDFA signings.

I didn't spend any time this year learning about the players entering the draft, so I'm not disappointed by the pick as I have no vested interest in any of the players. Furthermore, I'm actually happy they stayed in their spot and picked the BPA.

Some of the comments here are pretty hyperbole, and while I understand that people are very emotional about everything that has to do with the Saints - I'd wish folks could be more relaxed about it all.

Here I am relaxing after the sauna at my lakeside cabin in Finland drinking beer, wearing a Saints' jersey and waiting for the draft to continue - excited to see who'll join the Saints.

Do you have your own island like so many of the locals there?

I've visited Helsinki twice, mostly for business, got a tour of some of the islands and surroundings. It's lovely in Finland. The company I used to work for is based there.

Not on an island, but on a secluded lake. Island cottages are a pain to transfer stuff there and from, and we use our cottages around the year, so it's important to be able to just drive straight to the driveway.

Nice to finally get some sunlight and actually feel the warmth of the sun when it's out...

Well, it was briefly raining sleet today, so a normal kind of Finnish weather for the 1st of May celebrations.
