2006
Thats the year that has been the benchmark for the New Orleans Saints in regards to a successful NFL Draft if you listen to any discussion on the matter from fans to local beat writers.
It was even a featured piece on Sports Illustrated’s MMQB in 2015 to take a look out how some of the selected players were still contributing in the NFL.
The Saints had eight selections that year that was headlined by the selection of running back Reggie Bush with the second overall pick and bookended with a little known wide receiver named Marques Colston in the seventh round with the 252nd overall pick.
