The Saints have made 53 1st round selections in their team history if you include rookies Marshon Lattimore and Ryan Ramczyk this year. During that period there’s been a lot of busts and a lot of success stories. Below I’ve ranked them 1-51 (the two new guys are unranked for now) giving you a sense of how the Saints have fared with their 1st round choices over the years.
51. Shawn Knight, BYU DE, 11th overall in 1987: I struggled with who to put dead last as there are lots of candidates. Ultimately I went with Knight because he only played 10 games for the Saints and never started.
