Ole Barry predicts all three rookies to start? Yea.ok

Has nola ever produced 3 first day starters from the draft?
Ever? I'm sure it's been done before; 1981 (George Rogers, Russell Gary, Rickey Jackson) comes to mind. That year also gave us Hoby Brenner, Frank Warren, Johnnie Poe, and Jim Wilks, all of whom eventually started.- Did Warren and Brenner start as rooks, too? I think Brenner did.

2006- Reggie Bush (was he ever a starter?), Marques Colston (think he was day 1), ... what about Roman Harper and Jahri Evans? I think Harper was, uncertain how long before Evans took over.

1986- Jim Dombroski, Reuben Mayes (and Dalton Hilliard, also taken that draft, was backup and later took the spot), Pat Swilling.

1994 Joe Johnson, Winfred Tubbs, Mario Bates. I think they were all starters from opening day.

Evans, Colston, and Harper were all day one starters. Bush was a time share starter. Then Strief was an eventual starter and I think we got Ninkovich that year too. Only bust was some receiver in the sixth I think.
