Their 2nd round pick, many felt Taylor was a reach and not a real need for the team. Something like that...

Yeah. The Saints felt they didn't NEED a QB and had targeted both Olave and Tayler as players they absolutely wanted from what I have gathered from both Loomis and Allen. They have pointed out both the high character and work ethics of the players they selected. And, I doubt either care in the least what the "draft experts" think, right?
