Draft Grade — Saints
Overall A-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Saints worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

There is reaching, and then there is Joshua Josephs at the Round 2 slot. The Saints jumped the board by 48 and dared it to prove them wrong.

That Moore pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

Bottom line, with Dillon Thieneman leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Dillon Thieneman
In slot 29 they get an enforcer at safety at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick34 Rnd2 Joshua Josephs
Value said wait; Joshua Josephs in pick No. 34 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66 Rnd3 Dante Moore
You do not let a quarterback like Dante Moore reach the 66th overall pick and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick138 Rnd4 Austin Romaine
Austin Romaine at Round 4, Pick 36 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick141 Rnd5 Monroe Freeling
They will replay Monroe Freeling at No. 141 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick180 Rnd6 Aaron Anderson
Aaron Anderson in pick 180 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
