——DE Payton Turner is a flat bust of a 1st rd draft pick.
——DE Foskey from ND “could be” an average back-up … at best. Waste of a 2nd round draft pick.
——Cameron Jordan has maybe a year left in the tank.
——No starting quality NFL NoseGuard on the roster at present. Maybe the 6th rd draft pick will provide decent depth ??

Be prepared for the next few years top Saints draft picks to be flooded with DL …. and we already know they will be sprinkled with OL picks due to issues on that side of the ball.

In a game where the FOUNDATION of a team starts in the trenches…. the Saints are unfortunately way behind !!

The Hendrickson, Davenport, and Turner disaster is why I am so glad Payton is gone.

Hendrickson and Granderson are two very good DE's. Bresee looks to be headed in the right direction. Should have been Jalen Carter next to him and OL could have been drafted with the three first rounders wasted on Turner and Davenport.

Team would feel a lot different if the trenches were solved.

I think it is a little soon to say he will be an average back-up at best. He is entering his second year. Turner is a flat out bust and should be cut or traded this preseason, but it is WAY to early to label Foskey as a waste of a draft pick.

Easiest position in the league to fill. Late round picks and UDFA routinely fill this need. Just need a couple big strong guys that can take on double teams on early downs.

Way to early for this BS

This draft seems better. They should keep this group of decision makers together. I think Sean's ego spoiled the brew.
