Saints haven't drafted a QB in the first round in the last 50 years

I agree guido. I already have that feeling of disappointment. We'll be drafting just outside the top 10 and some great WR prospects will be on the board. It will seem like need has finally met value and we're finally going to take one of these stud WRs in the 1st. There, in that Schrodinger's WR moment, our minds run wild with possibility.

Then the pick is announced and it's a Center from Iowa. But you hit the nail on the head about the bankable value for drafting O line. Even misses like Peat and Ruiz have value. They might not play up to their draft position but they can still be contributors. Some positions, like WR, seem much more dicey. Here's an informative and eye opening read about drafting WRs in the first round...

That's all fine and good, but they don't go into further analysis as to what happens w/ receivers not taken in the first round. Pretty sure the success rate dives the later a WR is selected.
