15. <p>The New Orleans Saints have had recent success in finding late-round gems like Jahri Evans in the fourth, Marques Colston in the seventh and nabbed the NFL’s all-time leading scorer in the third in kicker Morten Andersen.</p>
<p>But a kicker can’t be the best pick and as great as the value was on Evans and Colston, they aren’t all-timers so I went with one who is in Hall of Fame tackle Willie Roaf.</p>
<p>New Orleans didn’t have to go too far to find the 6-5, 320-pound Roaf from nearby Louisiana Tech and made him the No. 8 pick in the 1993 draft and the first offensive lineman taken. They chose wisely too because Lincoln Kennedy and Brad Hopkins who were chosen one and five picks after Roaf didn’t end up in Canton like he did in 2012.</p>
<p>He made the first seven of 11 Pro Bowl appearances with the Saints before he finished his career with the Chiefs and put the finishing touches on his Hall of Fame career in Kansas City. He was a mainstay on the Saints line where the left tackle only missed four games in his first eight years before he was limited to seven games in his last year in the Crescent City.</p>. OT.
