Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints cashed the board's mistake on Royer: B-.

The Saints spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Joe Royer, the No. 114 name on the board, in slot 136. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the 8th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the back end. More want than need.
Pick42 Rnd2 Lee Hunter
They paid sticker price for Lee Hunter in No. 42, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick73 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
They took Elijah Sarratt at par in Round 3, Pick 9, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick132 Rnd4 Billy Schrauth
Billy Schrauth at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick136 Rnd4 Joe Royer
Circle this one: Joe Royer at the 136th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick148 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in slot 148 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick170 Rnd5 Aaron Graves
Nothing to complain about; Aaron Graves went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick188 Rnd6 Seth McGowan
The board had Seth McGowan higher than pick 188, and the running back fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
