Funny thing is he lists at 6’ 7” and 265. Turner lists 6’ 6” 269. He doesn’t sound any more massive than the guy the Saints chose.

Simms and Florio are hacks. Perhaps the Saints didn't like Rousseau's character, or his attitude, or his style of play, or the way he parted his hair. They clearly put time and thought into Turner and didn't want to take the chance that he wouldn't be there at pick 60. That's what I love about how the Saints draft. They go get who they want and don't listen to the meaningless outside noise.

Not sure if you listened to any of the pre draft interviews with our coaches … specifically Coach Ryan Nielsen. His emphasis on selecting edge rushers in the draft was size/length.

Davenport 6'6, Tanoh Kpassagnon 6'7, Payton Turner 6'6, Cam J 6'4, David O 6'3 etc ... long, tall, rangy guys that will be able to shut down the run game.

That is a big D line. I like this strategy and approach.

Simms / Florio are haters.

Scot-Irish thing, the moment you've a wife, she's already the potential as your widow...

Wouldn't count out Pete Werner and Kawaan Short playing, contributing significant snaps right away - well, the need for their skill sets is definitely there...

Even Landon Young may be called upon as, well, Mr. Glass may be back this season...

You're right. As a second rounder, Pete needs to see the field a lot as a rookie.

Smash provided a video from Payton post draft and he stated that PW will see a lot of action at WILL but could also see some time at MIKE.

Camp awaits.

Oh and I think you meant Kawaan Baker

Didn't like having to use our first round pick on Turner, felt that if we could, we should've moved back and taken him in R2, P33-P40 range...

But I'd much prefer Turner to Rousseau...

Turner strikes me as a much smarter prospect based on interviews, vocabulary diction, higher than a fifth grade speaking level...

Turner also spoke in terms of team and we and excitement - some of the very things I use to differentiate prospects...

It takes two parties to trade, as you know. Besides, there was no guarantee he'd still be there at that range. Edge rushers were taken picks #30, #31, and #32.

Turner vs Rousseau will be good talking points …

3 years from now. My money is on our guy

Simms / Florio are haters.

Like many of the talking heads, they have their sources and part of that gig means pushing their agent sources' clients...

Sean and Mickey definitely have agents they do business with and some they're not so inclined - that's why certain players don't sign or are not even approached...

Florio saw an opportunity in becoming the Drudge of NFL News as he wasn't getting it done as an agent; good for him...

He's had some embarrassing moments to be first, like reporting the premature death of Terry Bradshaw, but he's good for basic reporting, awful at analysis...

Mea Culpa - Kawaan Baker...
