We spent months talking about how unpredictable the New Orleans Saints can be on draft day, so it shouldn’t have shocked anyone to see another little-hyped prospect land with the black and gold when Houston pass rusher Payton Turner heard his name called back in April. But how does he stack up against the other first-round rookies in this year’s draft?
Draft Wire ranked every pick made in the first round, but it’s a tough scroll to the bottom for Saints fans. Turner clocks in at No. 30 out of the 32 selections, with only two worse draft-day choices behind him: the Las Vegas Raiders picking Alex Leatherwood and the Arizona Cardinals selecting Zaven Collins.
