Overall B
ValueC+ NeedA TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Saints: B.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Saints left cornerback untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul.

They are betting Mbow proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the 9th overall pick they get a problem off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
They paid up for Marcus Mbow at No. 40 when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
