The NFL preseason just concluded, and there is a full season ahead for the New Orleans Saints. With expectations mighty low and the excitement for a long-term quarterback in next year's NFL draft, it is worth looking ahead to next spring.

The Manning family's NFL legacy is deep and rich, from patriarch Archie Manning playing 12 years for the New Orleans to his sons, Peyton and Eli, combining to collect five league MVP awards, three Super Bowl MVP nods and four Super Bowl rings.

This is a decidedly different sort of draft class than the one we saw a year ago. It's chock-full of quarterbacks, edge rushers and offensive tackles -- three of the four highest-paid positions in the NFL currently (with wide receiver being the other).
