Underrated: The Saints' draft :bng:

It's nuts to think anything about the draft could be underrated. That thing is covered as if it were some combination of a royal wedding and an alien invasion. And fans get way too excited about the extent to which kids right out of college will reshape their teams

The Saints' 2017 draft is not going to do anything to change any of that. New Orleans got significant contributions from first-round picks Marshon Lattimore and Ryan Ramczyk (wisely deciding not to trade that Ramczyk pick to the Patriots for Malcolm Butler), second-round pick Marcus Williams and, of course, third-round pick Alvin Kamara. Four major hits in the first three rounds.

Lattimore and Kamara could sweep the Rookie of the Year awards, and the Saints, who were 7-9 in each of the past three seasons, are 11-4 with a playoff spot already clinched. It's not often a draft makes this much of a difference in Year 1, but this year's Saints are (unfortunately for those of us who wish the draft were kept in better perspective) proof that it can be done
