Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Saints.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Saints started one anyway for Zachariah Branch, 19 picks ahead of schedule.

They banked enough surplus on Golday to cover a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In pick No. 8 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick42 Rnd2 Zachariah Branch
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zachariah Branch well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jake Golday
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jake Golday in the Round 3 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick132 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun is a better player than Round 4, Pick 32 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick136 Rnd4 Logan Jones
Logan Jones in slot 136 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Beau Stephens. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Albert Regis
Fair-plus on Albert Regis, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick188 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at the 188th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
