Draft Grade — Saints
Overall A
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
Nobody dealt better than the Saints this weekend: A.

The Saints clearly saw something nobody else did in Vincent Anthony Jr., taking him 66 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. Getting Washington where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Caleb Banks and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
A quiet steal in the 42nd pick: Caleb Banks for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
The board had Jake Slaughter higher than pick 56, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson in slot 73 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick88 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington at pick No. 88 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick124 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
They did well to land Zachariah Branch in Round 4, Pick 24, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick132 Rnd4 Carson Beck
A quarterback of that caliber at No. 132 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick137 Rnd4 Vincent Anthony Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Vincent Anthony Jr. in No. 137 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148 Rnd5 Eric O'Neill
This one needs a full-page explanation: Eric O'Neill in Round 5, Pick 10, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick170 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
They jumped the gun on Aaron Anderson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick190 Rnd6 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels in pick 190 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
