New Orleans Saints' 2018 draft: Analysis for every selection

Breaking down the New Orleans Saints' 2018 draft class.

My take: After last year’s draft, I asked general manager Mickey Loomis if the Saints were “too hard to please” at the edge rusher position. Apparently not. The Saints made one the boldest -- and therefore riskiest -- moves of the entire draft by trading away next year’s first-round pick and a 2018 fifth-rounder to move up from No. 27 to No. 14. That’s a ton to pay for any one player, especially considering New Orleans is already missing a second-round pick this year. But how could I possibly criticize the Saints for going after an edge rusher after I ranked it as their No.
