We’re continuing to recap the New Orleans Saints’ draft history in Round 3 dating back to 2002, when Mickey Loomis was first promoted to general manager. They’ve found stars in this round like Alvin Kamara, Terron Armstead, and Jimmy Graham while occasionally missing on picks, but that’s the nature of the game.
