Is Rickey Jackson the greatest draft pick in Saints history?

When the Saints were on the clock with the 51st pick in the 1981 NFL draft, they had yet to have a winning season and had not drafted a single player that even came close to making the Hall of Fame in their first 14 years of existence. The selection of Rickey Jackson with that 51st pick changed that. In our most recent poll, 21% of you voted for Jackson as the Saints best draft pick, second behind Marques Colston.
