The Saints kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Justice Haynes selection is the head-turner. The Saints reached 41 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. That Stone pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The back end got a real overhaul.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Leonard Moore
In the 7th pick they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 David Stone
They will replay David Stone at Round 2, Pick 6 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick73 Rnd3 Quincy Rhodes Jr.
Quincy Rhodes Jr. at the 73rd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick110 Rnd4 Luke Montgomery
Luke Montgomery at slot 110 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick144 Rnd5 Justice Haynes
Justice Haynes in pick No. 144 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick185 Rnd6 Drew Bobo
Drew Bobo in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
