Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Saints: B-.

The curious call sets the tone. With edge rusher, tight end and other spots still glaring, the Saints used pick No. 73 on Rod Moore, a safety they were not exactly short of. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 KJ Bolden
In No. 8 they get an enforcer at safety. Need was not the driver here.
Pick42 Rnd2 C.J. Carr
A straight-up fair deal on C.J. Carr at slot 42, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick73 Rnd3 Rod Moore
A want over a need in Round 3, Pick 9: Rod Moore adds a safety while edge rusher, tight end and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick132 Rnd4 Eugene Brooks
Eugene Brooks at the 132nd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick136 Rnd4 DJ McKinney
They paid sticker price for DJ McKinney in pick No. 136, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick148 Rnd5 DJ Lagway
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on DJ Lagway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick170 Rnd5 Darius Taylor
No edge and no loss on Darius Taylor in No. 170; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick188 Rnd6 DeAndre Moore Jr.
No drama and no debate, DeAndre Moore Jr. went about where he belonged in the 188th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
