Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Saints won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+.

The Saints put a flag in the ground for Vincent Anthony Jr., 36 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. However the rest shakes out, Haulcy at that price is a win they earned.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Kenyon Sadiq
In No. 28 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
They took Olaivavega Ioane at par in slot 38, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick42 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in the Round 2 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick59 Rnd2 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price in Round 2, Pick 27 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick73 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
They let A.J. Haulcy come to them and pounced at pick 73. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick132 Rnd4 Skyler Gill-Howard
By-the-book stuff, Skyler Gill-Howard at the 132nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick136 Rnd4 Vincent Anthony Jr.
Vincent Anthony Jr. at the 136th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar is a better player than Round 5, Pick 10 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick170 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
Aaron Anderson slid further than he should have, and pick 170 is lovely value for the wide receiver. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Thaddeus Dixon
They did well to land Thaddeus Dixon in pick No. 188, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
