The Saints cashed the board's mistake on Milum: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Wyatt Milum, the No. 36 name on the board, stolen at No. 248.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom. Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In slot 9 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
No drama and no debate, Tyler Booker went about where he belonged in pick 40. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Cam Ward
Cam Ward in pick No. 71 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick93 Rnd3 Armand Membou
They barely believed it either: Armand Membou still on the board at the Round 3 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Grey Zabel
They robbed the room for Grey Zabel here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick147 Rnd5 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the 147th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Tre Harris
Taking Tre Harris in No. 160 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jack Bech
You do not let a wide receiver like Jack Bech reach Round 6, Pick 8 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick248 Rnd7 Wyatt Milum
Somehow Wyatt Milum was still sitting there in Round 7, Pick 32, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick254 Rnd7 Kyle Kennard
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Kyle Kennard in slot 254, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
