Something else interesting...with the exception of Naeole, pretty much every OL they've drafted in the first round has been a solid contributor for years (jury still out on J. Brown). If the Saints went for OL in the first round this year, I don't think I could get too upset; although we do have areas of greater need, drafting a stud OL-man is always a good move, IMO. History proves it.
