For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Saints walked out of the weekend still thin at edge rusher, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

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.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
