Grading the Saints 2017 draft pick by pick

And just like that the 2017 NFL draft has come to an end and we now know which 7 players have been (at least for now) added to the Saints 2017 roster. For every one of these players we are all operating under the ‘3-year-rule’ which means we won’t know how good (or bad) each player is until about year 3, except in the case of stars and busts who tend to reveal themselves rather quickly. Some players are more likely to succeed than others and are prioritized by the teams, teams express that fate by taking them higher in the draft, and that higher level of faith invites a higher level of criticism by we the fans due to the expectations put on top picks.
