Larceny in the Round 7 slot lands the Saints a B, Dike and all.

Call it larceny. Chimere Dike sat on the board until No. 248, and the Saints did not need to be asked twice.

They will answer for taking linebacker early while edge rusher, cornerback and other spots went begging. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In slot 25 they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A quiet steal in No. 40: Jalon Walker for less than the market said. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick71 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing TreVeyon Henderson in the 71st pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick79 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
They took Mason Taylor at par in Round 3, Pick 15, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick93 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Andrew Mukuba at the 93rd overall pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick112 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
The board had Dylan Fairchild higher than pick No. 112, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
A surprising call. With edge rusher, cornerback and other spots still to address, they spent the Round 4 slot on Smael Mondon Jr., a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick184 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick 184 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Chimere Dike
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 248 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick254 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Isaac TeSlaa in the 254th overall pick, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
