1968 draft:
17 players drafted
7 players made it to an NFL roster
Only 4 of those 7 ever played for the Saints
3 of those 7 played in 1968 only
2 of the remaining 4 played 2 years
The remaining two played until 1972
1 of those 2 (Kevin Hardy) never played a down for the Saints
The other one (Gene Howard) had 14 INTs in his career. Only 5 of them came for the Saints
Overall NFL statistics for the Saints class of 68
142 combined NFL game appearances
44 combined NFL starts (only 6 for the Saints)
14-38 passing, 129 yards, 1 TD, 3 INT
5 rushing yards (by the QB) (3 RBs were drafted)
0 receptions for 0 receiving yards (including a 3rd round WR)
14 INTs
That's it.
Larry Csonka was drafted one pick after the Saints first round pick
Three Hall of Famers were picked in the third round after the Saints picked Dave Syzmankowski
Curley Culp was drafted one pick after the Saints' spot in the 2nd round, which was traded to the Rams (see below)
Jim Kiick was drafted three picks after the Saints picked Ronnie Lee South in the 5th
Marv Hubbard was picked one pick after the Saints picked Bennie Blocker (another RB) in the 11th round
The Saints did not have their original first round pick because it went to Green Bay for Jimmy Taylor, who retired after playing one year for the Saints.
The Saints got a first round pick back for trading Gary Cuozzo, but the commissioner made them give the pick (Kevin Hardy) to San Francisco for signing Dave Parks
The Saints did not have a second round pick that year because they traded it to the Rams in exchange for sharing the Rams scouting combine info for the 1967 draft
