Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints let Styles fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Sonny Styles slide, and the Saints were the ones holding the card at the 42nd pick. Highway robbery. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The cost of the Moss reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Peter Woods
In pick 8 they get a disruptor off the edge, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick42 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Somehow Sonny Styles was still sitting there in the Round 2 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick73 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
Value with a capital V on Zachariah Branch in the 73rd pick, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick132 Rnd4 Chris McClellan
Chris McClellan at the 132nd overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick136 Rnd4 Julian Neal
They robbed the room for Julian Neal here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick150 Rnd5 Mikail Kamara
Mikail Kamara in slot 150 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick172 Rnd5 Drew Allar
They read the board right and Drew Allar was the payoff at pick No. 172. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick190 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
A premium they did not need to pay, Le'Veon Moss a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
