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

The Saints torched the value chart for Treydan Stukes, taking him 23 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The Endries value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Carnell Tate
In the 8th pick they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Zachariah Branch
A big swing on Zachariah Branch at No. 42, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick73 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
A real head-scratcher, Treydan Stukes in Round 3, Pick 9 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jack Endries
Jack Endries at pick 132 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick136 Rnd4 Kaleb Proctor
They took Kaleb Proctor at par in the 136th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick150 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens at slot 150 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick172 Rnd5 Taylen Green
Taylen Green at the 172nd overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jeff Caldwell
No drama and no debate, Jeff Caldwell went about where he belonged in pick 190. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
