You can draft well and still miss the point. The Saints did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to edge rusher, which was the need that mattered most. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The back end got a real overhaul.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 8 they get a rangy last line of defense. Need was not the driver here.
Nothing to complain about; Omar Cooper Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
