Draft Grade — Saints
Overall
C+
ValueD+
NeedB+
TradesB-
FutureB-
Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Saints. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Collin Schlee at slot 131, a reach of 289 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.
The Pegues value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.
Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
If Tetairoa McMillan and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In slot 9 they get a home-run threat at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40
Rnd2
Grey Zabel
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Grey Zabel in No. 40. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71
Rnd3
Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor in the 71st overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick93
Rnd3
Jared Ivey
They let Jared Ivey come to them and pounced at pick No. 93. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick112
Rnd4
Brady Cook
They talked themselves into Brady Cook at pick 112, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick131
Rnd4
Collin Schlee
Collin Schlee at Round 4, Pick 29 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick184
Rnd6
Caden Prieskorn
A big swing on Caden Prieskorn at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248
Rnd7
JJ Pegues
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, JJ Pegues in pick No. 248, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick254
Rnd7
Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
Circle this one: Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins at the 254th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
