Very rarely does anyone hit on a QB taken outside of the top few draft slots. It does happen, though, and is why the chance needs taken. There's even the outside chance they can be good enough to be a backup someday. That in itself could be considered a successful pick.

That said, most teams would have drafted ten QB's over that 16 year stretch. And likely would have missed on eight of them. The draft has never been the primary source of starting QB's for our Saints. Not since Manning, of course. Although, I doubt that is entirely predetermined. Just the way things have worked out over the years.
