Draft Grade — Saints
Overall A
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Saints turned the phones into found money: A.

The real work happened on the phones. The Saints fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. This is how you run a draft, and the A reflects it.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They banked enough surplus on Coleman to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In slot 12 they get a centerfielder for the defense, and a steal at that. Need was not the driver here.
Pick23 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In No. 23 they get a No. 1 receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Christen Miller
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Christen Miller at the 36th pick is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick38 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq slipping to the 38th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jonah Coleman
A quiet steal in pick No. 67: Jonah Coleman for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick108 Rnd4 Chandler Rivers
Chandler Rivers is a better player than Round 4, Pick 8 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
Value with a capital V on Zachariah Branch in the Round 4 slot, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick138 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford in pick 138 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick144 Rnd5 Michael Trigg
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Michael Trigg in the 144th overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick182 Rnd6 Duce Robinson
Duce Robinson at Round 6, Pick 3 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick189 Rnd6 Terion Stewart
A slide stopped in pick 189, with Terion Stewart worth more than the price. It fills a real need, too.
