The advantages to having an elite NFL quarterback are numerous, one of the main ones being you don't have to worry about the position in the NFL Draft.

While other teams are wringing their hands trying to find the next Drew Brees, you can concentrate on other positions in the draft and trying to improve your team in other areas.

It's a tremendous luxury to have, and one the Saints have enjoyed for more than a decade.

Since signing Drew Brees in free agency in 2006, the Saints have selected 67 players in the NFL Draft.
