Draft Grade — Saints
Overall C-
ValueF NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C- for the Saints.

The Saints spent real capital to be 305 picks early on Maliq Carr, and the board is going to hold them to it. Call it a C- and check back in two years.

The McLaughlin value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 RJ Oben
In the 9th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40 Rnd2 Shedeur Sanders
You do not let a quarterback like Shedeur Sanders reach the 40th overall pick and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick71 Rnd3 Maliq Carr
Value said wait; Maliq Carr in the Round 3 slot says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Andrew Mukuba in Round 3, Pick 29. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick112 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
A big swing on Pat Bryant at pick No. 112, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick131 Rnd4 Davin Vann
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Davin Vann. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick184 Rnd6 Woody Marks
Woody Marks in pick 184 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick248 Rnd7 Seth McLaughlin
They barely believed it either: Seth McLaughlin still on the board at Round 7, Pick 32. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jacory Croskey-Merritt
Jacory Croskey-Merritt at pick No. 254 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
