You can draft well and still miss the point. The Saints did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to cornerback, which was the need that mattered most. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They went 1 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
