Draft Grade — Saints
Overall
B-
ValueB-
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Saints. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Keylan Rutledge, 50 picks early at pick 73. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.
The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Jeremiyah Love
In the 8th overall pick they get a centerpiece for the ground game. A real need, handled.
Pick42
Rnd2
Elijah Sarratt
They took Elijah Sarratt at par in slot 42, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick73
Rnd3
Keylan Rutledge
They left a pile of value on the table to take Keylan Rutledge this early at the Round 3 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick132
Rnd4
Skyler Gill-Howard
Skyler Gill-Howard in pick No. 132 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick136
Rnd4
Taylen Green
They talked themselves into Taylen Green at Round 4, Pick 36, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick148
Rnd5
DJ Campbell
They went early on DJ Campbell in the 148th pick, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick170
Rnd5
Eric O'Neill
They reached into another round for Eric O'Neill, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick188
Rnd6
Jaren Kanak
No edge and no loss on Jaren Kanak in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
