The Saints surprised many people with their first-round pick, getting a good player in offensive lineman Cesar Ruiz but one who doesn't represent a clear need for a team competing for a Super Bowl. On Day 2, the Saints got aggressive but at the same time may have found the best value in the entire class in projected first-round pick Zack Baun. We'll be tracking every player they take and every grade they receive for those picks in this space throughout draft weekend.
