The five best offensive linemen we've drafted during the Payton era were drafted in the fourth round (Jahri Evans), seventh round (Zach Strief), fourth round (Jermon Bushrod), fifth round (Carl Nicks), fourth round (Jermon Bushrod) and third round (Terron Armstead); and only Armstead was a Top 75 pick - in fact, he was the 75th pick of the draft...

Charles Brown (round 2), Andy Alleman (round 3) were second day picks...

We need to draft the best available player when it's our selection irregardless of Brees and his window...
