The advantages to having an elite NFL quarterback are numerous, one of the main ones being you don't have to worry about the position in the NFL Draft.

While other teams are wringing their hands trying to find the next Drew Brees, you can concentrate on other positions in the draft and trying to improve your team in other areas.



It's a tremendous luxury to have, and one the Saints have enjoyed for more than a decade.

Since signing Drew Brees in free agency in 2006, the Saints have selected 67 players in the NFL Draft. Only two have been used on quarterbacks: Sean Canfield in 2010; and Garrett Grayson in 2015.

The Seattle Seahawks are the only other NFL team to invest so few draft picks on quarterbacks during that span. By comparison, the New York Jets have drafted eight quarterbacks since 2006; the Denver Broncos seven.



Meanwhile, the Saints, with their quarterback spot locked and loaded, have been able to focus on other positions in the draft. Now, you could argue they haven't taken full advantage of this luxury, but you get the point. It's an enviable position to be in.
