The Saints just received an award for the best draft of 2017 from Inside the League and The Scouting Network. It would be very hard to debate that with the team notching the Offensive and Defensive Rookie of the Year awards for Alvin Kamara and Marshon Lattimore. That feat hasn’t been done by a team since the Detroit Lions did it in 1967. Rare air indeed.
But as far as being the best draft in Saints history? For now that title still has to go to the draft class of 2006. Let me emphasize the “for now” I put in there.
