Dave Ziegler joining the Saints as an advisor for Free Agency and the draft (Saints permanently hire Ziegler as Personnel Advisor)
2017 Saints class is considered the all time greatest draft class for any team in the 2000s. Most teams aren’t hitting every pick or even most of their early round picks. We’ve drafted 2-3 productive starters in every draft class since the 2019 draft, which is really good and better than at least half of the league.
49ers haven’t hit on an early 1st-3rd round pick since they took Aiyuk in 2020. We’ve had 8 out of 12 successful 1st-3rd rd picks since then. The OT & DE picks not panning out yet doesn’t wipe out the greater amount of picks that have.
