Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Saints: B.

The one they had to fix is still broken. The Saints left cornerback untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul.

On value alone, Royer makes the weekend a net positive. If Coleman Jr. pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
Jeremiyah Love at the Round 1 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
Pick42 Rnd2 R Mason Thomas
R Mason Thomas slid further than he should have, and the 42nd pick is lovely value for the edge rusher. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone in the 73rd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick132 Rnd4 Joe Royer
Joe Royer at slot 132 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick136 Rnd4 Kevin Coleman Jr.
They talked themselves into Kevin Coleman Jr. at pick 136, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 Isaiah World
They let Isaiah World come to them and pounced at No. 148. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner in Round 5, Pick 32 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick188 Rnd6 Josh Cameron
Good price on Josh Cameron in pick No. 188, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
