Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Trey Moore, 44 picks early at the 136th pick. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Allar value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In No. 8 they get a true top target at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
Anthony Hill Jr. in Round 2, Pick 10 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick73 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
Value said wait; Treydan Stukes in the 73rd overall pick says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jack Endries
A slide stopped in the 132nd pick, with Jack Endries worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick136 Rnd4 Trey Moore
They talked themselves into Trey Moore at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Matt Gulbin
A big swing on Matt Gulbin at pick No. 150, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick172 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar slid further than he should have, and the 172nd overall pick is lovely value for the quarterback. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick190 Rnd6 Zavion Thomas
A wild overpay on Zavion Thomas in pick No. 190, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
