Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueC NeedA- TradesB FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Saints, and a B to prove it.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Jaylon Braxton; the Saints did not wait, grabbing him 187 spots ahead at Round 4, Pick 22.

That Howell pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The trade work was a quiet net positive. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Peter Woods
In No. 8 they get a double-digit-sack hope, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Domonique Orange
Value said wait; Domonique Orange in pick No. 42 says they were not listening. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jaylon Braxton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaylon Braxton this early at slot 122. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick132 Rnd4 Skyler Bell
Skyler Bell in the 132nd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick136 Rnd4 Brian Parker II
Taking Brian Parker II in the 136th overall pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150 Rnd5 Eli Raridon
A slide stopped in pick 150, with Eli Raridon worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jadarian Price
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Jadarian Price in pick 172, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick190 Rnd6 Cashius Howell
Somehow Cashius Howell was still sitting there in slot 190, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick215 Rnd6 Joey Aguilar
They reached a country mile for Joey Aguilar at No. 215, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick231 Rnd7 Chandler Rivers
You do not let a cornerback like Chandler Rivers reach the 231st pick and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
