FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Saints a B. Everything else got attention, and cornerback got none. That is a strange way for the Saints to leave a draft. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it. A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick5
Rnd1
Rueben Bain Jr.
In pick No. 5 they get a bendy edge with upside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick42
Rnd2
Chris Bell
A straight-up fair deal on Chris Bell at slot 42, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
