Really? Mario at 4? Have there been only 5 defensive players taken at 1 in the last 40 years or what????

I think there are 13 total, and let's not forget the Tom Cousinea's and Walt Patulski's that were chosen.

2006 - what a garbage draft https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_NFL_Draft

255 players drafted that year, only about 12 that amounted to anything worthwhile in the long run

In a redraft, you could make the case that Kyle Williams should have been #1 overall, not a 5th rounder ...you could prolly argue that K Stephen Gostkowski should have been drafted before Mario Williams

The Saints killed that draft. KILLED it. Three years later? Super Bowl!
