Dennis Allen was a DB and Kodi Burns saw him everyday in practice at UT. Gotta trust their evals here. You got a kid who posted the 30th highest RAS out of 1,923 CBs since 1988 who is also a bright guy and a team leader. I reckon that is a great starting point on a guy who has superstar potential.
Sometimes I wonder if the Saints put too much emphasis on RAS though.

I think they do put too much emphasis on RAS but not on this pick. I wasn’t exactly thrilled with the pick but while Adebo was better than what our fans think, he could regress. I remember a lot of posters on here bitching about Adebo during in-game threads, begging for Roby. Taylor has really good tape and his athleticism is top tier. He may supplant Adebo by the end of the year. He’s got that alpha mentality and is a hard worker. That will get you far in the NFL.


I also don’t get the Payton Turner hate. Dude was tearing it up until he got hurt. And we know Cam won’t be here forever.
