Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Saints.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Sam Hartman in pick 200, a good 31 spots before the room expected him.

Getting Oladapo where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 JC Latham
In slot 14 they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 45th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick149 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
They paid a round early for Braelon Allen in pick 149, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They talked themselves into Jordan Jefferson at the 167th pick, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick169 Rnd5 Cedric Johnson
Nothing to complain about; Cedric Johnson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick174 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
They went early on Michael Barrett in Round 5, Pick 38, and the value did not follow. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick192 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in the 192nd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick200 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
A wild overpay on Sam Hartman in pick No. 200, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
