Alvin Kamara, RB, Tennessee

This was the absolute steal of the draft. Alvin Kamara quickly turned into one of the best running backs in the entire NFL. He is also arguably the best pass-catching back in the NFL as well which states volumes compared to where he was drafted.

This pick has reminiscence of Tom Brady being drafted so low and turning into a future Hall-of-Famer. I am not saying Kamara is on that level yet, but he definitely has the potential to be one day toward the end of his career.

Kamara has made the Pro-Bowl in all three years he has been with the team. He has totaled 2,408 yards rushing with 27 touchdowns. He also adds on 243 receptions for 2,068 yards and 10 touchdowns receiving as well.

There could be an argument that the Saints should have gone with Dalvin Cook at the end of the first round, but the place they got Kamara at cannot be switched around. Kamara is a first-round talent drafted in the third-round.
