Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureA+
The Saints did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B+.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Oluwafemi Oladejo in No. 93, a good 51 spots before the room expected him. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

However the rest shakes out, Grant at that price is a win they earned. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

Devonte Wyatt gives the group a proven body among the projects. Stockpiling next year's capital is patient, if unglamorous, asset work.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the 23rd overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum in pick No. 40 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick71 Rnd3 Tyler Shough
A wild overpay on Tyler Shough in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick93 Rnd3 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at Round 3, Pick 29 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112 Rnd4 Charles Grant
The board fumbled Charles Grant all the way to the 112th pick, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick131 Rnd4 RJ Harvey
A straight-up fair deal on RJ Harvey at slot 131, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
