Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Saints never addressed cornerback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

They are betting Ford proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.
