Draft Grade — Saints
Overall C-
ValueF NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Allar is the plan now, and the Saints grade out a C-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Drew Allar, 152 picks early at No. 8.

Landing Lemon that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Drew Allar is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

Hit on Drew Allar and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Drew Allar
In slot 8 they get their quarterback of the future, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tacario Davis
Tacario Davis at pick 42 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick73 Rnd3 Caleb Lomu
You do not let an offensive lineman like Caleb Lomu reach the 73rd overall pick and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Makai Lemon
Makai Lemon at pick No. 132 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick137 Rnd4 Jadarian Price
By-the-book stuff, Jadarian Price at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick148 Rnd5 Bishop Fitzgerald
Somehow Bishop Fitzgerald was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 10, and they pounced on premier safety value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick170 Rnd5 Malachi Lawrence
A clean, defensible pick in slot 170 with a little surplus value in Malachi Lawrence. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick190 Rnd6 Michael Harris
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Michael Harris. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
