Kwon is an exception as he was a 4th rounder for another team.

Yep yep. I thought former 1st rounders Queen, Kenneth Murray (Chargers) and Isaiah had "impact" as starters out of the gate. Darius Leonard (2nd rounder) & that LSU dude (Devin White) did as well so it can be done.

Stephone A & Thor (Anzalone) kinda ruined it for me. Wasn't Martez listed as a LB coming out of college too? High draft selections but for whatever reason, didn't pan out in New Orleans.

Saints simply don't have the best track record with drafting or developing linebackers over the last two decades.

I'm hopeful Pete Werner will be different
