Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Omar Speights in the 175th pick, a good 140 spots before the room expected him. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They have staked the next five years on Michael Penix Jr., which is the only story that really matters here. Getting Means where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In pick 14 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at the 41st pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick150 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Frank Gore Jr. this early at No. 150. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Evan Williams
Evan Williams at the 170th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick175 Rnd5 Omar Speights
They reached into another round for Omar Speights, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick199 Rnd6 Charles Turner III
Charles Turner III at Round 6, Pick 24 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick239 Rnd7 Bub Means
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Bub Means in pick No. 239, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
