The Saints' entire 2012 Draft class is now gone

With the New Orleans Saints having traded away defensive Akiem Hicks to the New England Patriots on Wednesday, the Saints no longer have a single player from their 2012 NFL Draft class on their roster.

Nick Toon, Corey White, Andrew Tiller, Marcel Jones, and the aforementioned Hicks are all on another NFL roster, or out of the league entirely at this point.

The fact that the Saints no longer roster a single player from a Draft that was just a few years ago represents a major front office failure for the team, and may go some distance in helping to explain why the team has started the 2015 season 0-3.

Additionally, the Saints went 7-9 last season and failed to make the playoffs.
