Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B+
ValueC- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Saints fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

Some picks age like wine; Tony Rojas at the Round 7 slot will need to, sitting 128 spots clear of his grade. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Adding Jordan Whittington by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In pick 9 they get a ballhawk on the back end. Need was not the driver here.
Pick23 Rnd1 Joshua Josephs
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Carson Beck
Carson Beck in No. 36 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick61 Rnd2 Mikail Kamara
They reached a country mile for Mikail Kamara at the Round 2 slot, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick67 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
No drama and no debate, A'Mauri Washington went about where he belonged in pick No. 67. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick93 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
They left a pile of value on the table to take Zachariah Branch this early at the 93rd overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick128 Rnd4 Eric O'Neill
A big swing on Eric O'Neill at the 128th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick138 Rnd4 Austin Romaine
No edge and no loss on Austin Romaine in No. 138; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick144 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
They reached into another round for Kevin Coleman Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick168 Rnd5 Makhi Hughes
A wild overpay on Makhi Hughes in the 168th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Duce Robinson
They paid a round early for Duce Robinson in slot 169, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick182 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell in Round 6, Pick 3 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216 Rnd7 Jahiem White
Jahiem White at pick 216 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick234 Rnd7 Tony Rojas
They talked themselves into Tony Rojas at pick No. 234, and the board did not agree. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
