You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Saints did exactly that with Malik Muhammad in pick 73.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The Thieneman pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
