DRAFT GRADE: C+

-

Nobody mortgages the future for the present like the Saints, who ran out of picks on Day 2 before trading back into the seventh round for Tommy Stevens. New Orleans certainly grabbed quality players. Cesar Ruiz could start Day 1 at guard, and Zack Baun was a borderline first-rounder with versatilit­y. Adam Trautman nearly slid to Day 3 despite starring at the Senior Bowl. The problem is the Saints made only four picks and are already without third- and sixthround­ers in 2021.

 ?? JEFF HANISCH/USA TODAY SPORTS ?? Cesar Ruiz, taken with the 24th pick in the first round, is projected by Ourlads.com as No. 1 on the Saints’ depth chart for right guard.
