Recent history shows New Orleans Saints can find play-maker at No. 15 in NFL draft

Its a great spot to pick. The pick isn't high dollar (especially after the new CBA) and historically the top 5-10 picks were QB's and skill position players.

At pick 15 is about where the LB's, CB's, Linemen and DB's were historically selected.

With the new rookie wage scales it's no longer taboo to select non-skill positions in the top 10.

We may have 2 OG's and 3 OT's picked in the top 10 this year. Can't say I remember that ever happening before.

yeah this could be a major change in drafting by teams. that and it also shows how the lack of real impact players in round 1 effects us this year. the mid range in round 1 is loaded with hype and the chance of bust is higher than most draft. buyer be ware
