Offensive line always a possibility for Saints in the NFL Draft

As recently as a year ago, the New Orleans Saints displayed how drafting an offensive lineman would never escape their selection strategy.

The Saints seemingly didn't "need" an offensive lineman when making the No. 32 overall pick in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft. The Saints could have potentially found a backup for Zach Strief or Terron Armstead at some other point in the draft.

But Ryan Ramczyk's draft grade stood too tall for the Saints to pass. It turned out to be one of the smartest selections possible. Ramczyk started every game last year.
