Draft Grade — Saints
Overall D+
ValueF NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Hard to find the plan in the Saints' weekend. D+.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Nyziah Hunter at the 36th overall pick is 467 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. However the rest shakes out, Banks at that price is a win they earned.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, cornerback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Samson Okunlola
In pick 5 they get a long-term starter on the line, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Nyziah Hunter
Nyziah Hunter at slot 36 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick67 Rnd3 Caleb Banks
They barely believed it either: Caleb Banks still on the board at pick No. 67. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Conner Weigman
A wild overpay on Conner Weigman in Round 5, Pick 6, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick185 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
A slide stopped in the 185th pick, with DJ Campbell worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
