1 draft pick ( Erik McCoy ) has made the Pro Bowl since the 2017 draft of Lattimore, Ramczyk, Williams, Kamara, Anzalone, Hendrickson & Muhammad

Zack Baun made it for the Eagles

Baun and McCoy are the only ones.

You could argue that CJ Gardner Johnson could have made one in 6 years, but no one else we have drafted has been deserving of one.

That 2017 draft put a ton of makeup on the pig

Ahh one of those rhetorical questions again.

IMO, I do not like using Pro Bowls as a way to measure success. Too many factors at play. Hell, Ram has been 1st team All-Pro once and 2nd team All-Pro twice; but never made a Pro Bowl

Played around on Wiki and found this interesting. Pro Bowlers eligible to be drafted (including undrafted) by year,:
2017 - 40
2018 - 38
2019 - 38
2020 - 27
2021 - 18
2022 - 19
2023 - 12
2024 - 6

And while the Saints drafts have sucked over the years, what the above information does not include is the number of players draft by each team, and the number of those players that made the Pro Bowl with the team that drafted them. In other words, how would the Saints lack of drafting Pro Bowl players compare to other teams, and does drafting Pro Bowl players equate success?

I did find it funny that during that time frame the Saints had 3 undrafted players make the Pro Bowl: JT Gray, Hardy & Shaheed

I wonder what’s the circumstances for the drop in Pro Bowlers that were eligible draft prospects in recent years? This could represent the decline in overall play this past year. I thought it was the worse I’ve seen in my 30 years of really watching NFL closely

Ram was a pro bowl caliber player while healthy. However, we drafted a guy with a degenerate condition, so...
