Saints' ballyhooed 2015 draft class having little to no impact

Remember the Saints' ballyhooed 2015 NFL Draft class? Well, it's not looking so fabulous lately.

Only four members of the original nine-man group played in the Saints' 16-13 loss to the New York Giants on Sunday. Andrus Peat, P.J. Williams and Tyeler Davison started at left guard, right cornerback and defensive tackle, respectively.

Davison was credited with four tackles in 40 plays. Peat graded fairly well by Pro Football Focus analysts for his line play, but he and Terron Armstead appeared to make an assignment error in protection that allowed Johnathan Hankins to block Wil Lutz's 38-yard field goal attempt.
