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

Some picks age like wine; Roman Hemby at pick 221 will need to, sitting 138 spots clear of his grade. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Stowers at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In slot 8 they get a centerfielder for the defense. More want than need.
Pick42 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Nothing to complain about; Emmanuel Pregnon went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Eli Stowers at pick No. 73 is the proof. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick132 Rnd4 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Kevin Coleman Jr. at Round 4, Pick 32 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick136 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
They left a pile of value on the table to take Davison Igbinosun this early at the 136th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick148 Rnd5 Kaleb Proctor
A big swing on Kaleb Proctor at the 148th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick177 Rnd5 Josh Cameron
Josh Cameron in the 177th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick188 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa in Round 6, Pick 9 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick221 Rnd7 Roman Hemby
They talked themselves into Roman Hemby at No. 221, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
