To call Day 1 of the 2021 NFL Draft “stunning” for Saints fans would be an understatement. After a lot of hemming and hawing about New Orleans trading up, they ended up staying pat and taking — not Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah — but defensive end Payton Turner.

Best available
1.) Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah — LB
2.) Elijah Moore — WR
3.
