Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints answered their biggest question with Nussmeier. Grade: B-.

The Saints did not so much draft Trey Moore as overpay for him, 88 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

The whole projection now runs through Garrett Nussmeier; hit there and everything else looks smarter. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Garrett Nussmeier
In the 5th pick they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at the Round 2 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick69 Rnd3 Mansoor Delane
Mansoor Delane at No. 69 is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick105 Rnd4 Raylen Wilson
They went early on Raylen Wilson in slot 105, and the value did not follow. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick138 Rnd4 Trey Moore
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trey Moore. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick144 Rnd5 Desmond Reid
Desmond Reid at pick 144 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jordan White
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jordan White in the 183rd overall pick, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
