Drafting isn't a math quiz. It is a fact that 65% of draft picks never make a 53 man roster. That means only 35% do make the roster. Four out of nine (if the four make the squad eventually) would be a success rate of 44%, which in itself would be better than the average.

With 9 picks a team has a better chance at the 35% than just 4 picks at 35%. Law of average still applies. 35% of 4 or 35% of 9 ?

The vast majority of those that don't make it come from the 5-7 rounds. Those are the picks that we traded to move up and get players that the front office felt were "sure things".

Quality over quantity, especially for roster that are already very deep. Make no mistake about it, the Saints have one of the deepest rosters top to bottom in the entire league.
