The Saints cashed the board's mistake on Mullings: A. The Saints spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Kalel Mullings, the No. 49 name on the board, in slot 251. Little to argue with here, and the A says so.
The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Saints paired the rookies with proven help, Cordell Volson leading the way.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.
Add it up and this is about as clean as a draft weekend gets.
Pick Analysis
Pick13
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in Round 2, Pick 7 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick40
Rnd2
Wyatt Milum
A quiet steal in the 40th overall pick: Wyatt Milum for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick53
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
Circle this one: Walter Nolen at slot 53 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick71
Rnd3
Cam Ward
Steal is underselling it; Cam Ward at the 71st pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick76
Rnd3
Tyler Booker
They barely believed it either: Tyler Booker still on the board at pick No. 76. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick85
Rnd3
Tre Harris
The board fumbled Tre Harris all the way to pick 85, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick112
Rnd4
Josaiah Stewart
They robbed the room for Josaiah Stewart here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick123
Rnd4
Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland at No. 123 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149
Rnd5
Deontae Lawson
Taking Deontae Lawson in the 149th pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick157
Rnd5
Ashton Jeanty
They will replay Ashton Jeanty at slot 157 for years; that is how good the value is. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick161
Rnd5
Ajani Cornelius
Somehow Ajani Cornelius was still sitting there in the Round 5 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick236
Rnd7
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston in pick 236 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick249
Rnd7
Jordan Hancock
Jordan Hancock at the 249th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick251
Rnd7
Kalel Mullings
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Kalel Mullings in Round 7, Pick 37, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
