Here’s a look at the best draft picks by position for the New Orleans Saints:
OFFENSE
Quarterback: Archie Manning, first round, 1971, Ole Miss. We’ll get to some late-round steals later on this list, but Manning is an easy choice for this honor as the No. 2 overall pick in the 1971 draft. Though he infamously spent much of his career running for his life behind some shaky offensive lines, Manning is a two-time Pro Bowler who ranks second in franchise history in passing yards (21,734) behind Drew Brees.
