For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Saints walked out of the weekend still thin at quarterback, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They banked enough surplus on Swinson to cover a lot of smaller sins. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
