Overall B
ValueB NeedA TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Saints.

Every other box got a look, but cornerback did not. The Saints will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
They paid sticker price for James Pearce Jr. in No. 9, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in Round 2, Pick 8 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
