Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Saints turned the phones into found money: B+.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Saints did exactly that with Trey Moore in pick 132. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the Round 1 slot they get an every-down engine for the run game at fair value.
Pick42 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
A straight-up fair deal on Caleb Banks at the 42nd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick73 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Keionte Scott at pick 73 is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick74 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields in No. 74 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham in the 109th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick132 Rnd4 Trey Moore
A wild overpay on Trey Moore in pick No. 132, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick136 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
They paid sticker price for DeMonte Capehart in No. 136, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick148 Rnd5 Nadame Tucker
A reach for Nadame Tucker in the 148th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick170 Rnd5 Eric McAlister
No edge and no loss on Eric McAlister in the Round 5 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick176 Rnd5 Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton at pick No. 176 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick188 Rnd6 Isaiah Jatta
Isaiah Jatta in Round 6, Pick 9 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
