Draft Grade — Saints
Overall C
ValueF NeedB+ TradesC FutureB
The jury is out on the Saints. For now, C.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Amari Kight at pick 9, a reach of 302 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

The Ward pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

So much rides on Amari Kight that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Amari Kight
In the 9th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
A reasonable price with a little left over, Donovan Ezeiruaku in the 58th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71 Rnd3 Mike Green
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Mike Green in pick No. 71, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
They robbed the room for Elic Ayomanor here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
They will replay Andrew Mukuba at pick 112 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick131 Rnd4 Shemar James
They left a pile of value on the table to take Shemar James this early at slot 131. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick184 Rnd6 Woody Marks
They liked Woody Marks enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 6 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick213 Rnd6 Cam Ward
They barely believed it either: Cam Ward still on the board at Round 6, Pick 37. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick223 Rnd7 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott at the 223rd pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick225 Rnd7 Robbie Ouzts
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Robbie Ouzts well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
