Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB-
The Saints found their guy under center in Simpson: B-.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Saints spent their marquee pick on Ty Simpson, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

They will need Graves to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Ty Simpson
In No. 3 they get the face of the franchise at fair value.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald at the 37th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick68 Rnd3 Antonio Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Antonio Williams at Round 3, Pick 4, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
A slide stopped in the Round 4 slot, with Domani Jackson worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick145 Rnd5 Aaron Graves
A wild overpay on Aaron Graves in pick 145, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick166 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Kage Casey in the 166th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick184 Rnd6 Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton in pick No. 184 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
