2016 NFL Draft Grades Report Card: New Orleans Saints Overall Grade Out "C+"

The New Orleans Saints came into the 2016 NFL Draft needing to eventually add a Defensive Tackle, a Defensive End, two Guards, a Wide Receiver, a Cornerback, a Safety, a Linebacker, and a Kicker. Count that as 9 holes to fill, but the Saints only had 6 picks to use, so obviously not every need was going to be addressed. At the end of the day, and with trade-ups tacking away picks (one pick this year, and one pick for next year), the Saints were able to address 3 of the 9 holes on the roster, most notably not selecting a Guard during the entire draft.
