Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Stowers should have been long gone. The Saints pounced, and earned a B-.

Somebody in the 73rd pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Saints sat still while Eli Stowers, the No. 53 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If Cooper Jr. pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
Caleb Downs at No. 8 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick42 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
They liked Omar Cooper Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in the 42nd overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick73 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Eli Stowers in the 73rd pick, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick132 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ar'maj Reed-Adams. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick136 Rnd4 Chris McClellan
A tidy little value on Chris McClellan in pick 136, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
No edge and no loss on Kevin Coleman Jr. in Round 5, Pick 10; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Kaleb Proctor
Kaleb Proctor in slot 170 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick188 Rnd6 Lander Barton
No drama and no debate, Lander Barton went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. A minor need, but a need all the same.
