You can draft well and still miss the point. The Saints did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to cornerback, which was the need that mattered most. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Monheim falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
