Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Saints: B-.

The Colbie Young pick is the one that will follow the Saints into the fall. They took him 62 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

They punted on offensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Price.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 T.J. Parker
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a double-digit-sack hope, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick42 Rnd2 Brandon Cisse
Brandon Cisse in slot 42 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price in the 73rd pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick132 Rnd4 Zane Durant
They reached into another round for Zane Durant, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick136 Rnd4 Trey Moore
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trey Moore this early at pick No. 136. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148 Rnd5 Ted Hurst
By-the-book stuff, Ted Hurst at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick170 Rnd5 Rayshaun Benny
A conviction pick on Rayshaun Benny at the 170th pick that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick188 Rnd6 Colbie Young
Colbie Young in pick 188 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
