I remember he caught a ball on us, it was like a 10-yard out. It was really just supposed to be a drive starter. He took it 80-yards to the crib.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
Our first trade! The Saints wheeled into the 16 and 19 slots before the draft and landed this pick from the Commanders on the clock, sending Nos. 16, 98 and 110 overall to get it done. And they make it two straight Ohio State receivers off the board. Olave just feels made for the turf — a smooth glider who could put up great numbers with improved QB play in New Orleans. Are we sure Sean Payton doesn’t want to come back?

Eric Edholm's Commentary
Remember Kyle Turley? The Saints just drafted his modern-day doppelganger. Penning is big, seriously nasty and a pain in the butt to deal with as a defender. He needs work in pass pro and can be penalty-prone, and he steps into a big void with Terron Armstead gone. This is interesting, but he certainly fits from a need and temperament standpoint.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
The Saints go corner — not safety, like we figured. Taylor could move to safety, however, because he's tough with range and smarts. He's also a special teams demon, but the value was a little rich here.
