Saints’ entire 2017 draft class is starting, but most not for the Saints
Best draft class in Saints history, even better than 2006.
2017 : had 11th pick overall Lattimore, Ramczyk, Williams, Kamara, Hendrickson, Anzalone, Muhammad (this also includes trading away Brandin Cooks and a future 2nd for Kamara.)
Lattimore, Ramczyk, Kamara, Hendrickson are all pro bowlers, the first three have hall of fame potential. Williams could be a pro bowl player and is a good starter. Anzalone starts in Detroit and Muhammad has staid on rosters as defensive line depth.
2006: had 2nd pick overall Bush, Harper (Jeff Faine in trade included with Harper), Evans (includes Hollis Thomas in trade), Ninkovich, (misses in Mike Hass and Josh Lay) Strief, Colston for the best 7th round of any team ever
Evans has a shot at the hall of fame in 2006, you got Colston who should have been a multi probowler but notably never made it. Bush was good but not great given his hype, Ninkovich and Strief were both long time starters.
