The Saints spent the pick that matters most on Michael Penix Jr., and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Simpson. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They will need Spann-Ford to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
