Draft Grade — Saints
Overall

More right than wrong for the Saints, and a B to prove it. Everything else got attention, and cornerback got none. That is a strange way for the Saints to leave a draft. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
On value alone, Thomas makes the weekend a net positive. On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.
The skill positions did well by the weekend.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
In the 8th overall pick they get a bell-cow for the offense at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42
Rnd2
R Mason Thomas
R Mason Thomas slid further than he should have, and pick No. 42 is lovely value for the edge rusher. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
