Saints draft grades three years later
New Orleans Saints
2012 Grade: F The Skinny: They didn't have a first-round pick (traded the year before for Mark Ingram) and lost their second-round pick in the Bounty-gate scandal. That made it tough. They hit on third-round defensive tackle Akiem Hicks, who has turned into a good starter. Receiver Nick Toon is the only other player from the draft left on the roster, and he's a backup. How I did: I liked the pick of Toon and didn't like the Hicks pick at all, which Saints fans remind me of all the time. My third-day gem was sixth-round guard Andrew Tiller, which didn't work out. New Grade: D- (Hicks is the reason it isn't an F) Re-grading the 2012 NFL Draft: The time I gave Russell Wilson a C+ - CBSSports.com | |

Re: Saints draft grades three years later
Hicks was the only positive so far from that draft. That's sounds pretty pathetic.......but we didn't have a first or second round pick and that can have a serious effect on the draft.
