The search is over. The Saints handed the keys to Fernando Mendoza, and the whole operation now runs on his development. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

The Mendoza pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Quarterback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

So much rides on Fernando Mendoza that the real verdict is a season or two away.
