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

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Saints shredded theirs for Zane Durant. He came off 39 spots early, and the room will hear about it. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

That Washington Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
Caleb Downs in the Round 1 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick42 Rnd2 Chris Bell
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chris Bell. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Justin Joly
Justin Joly at slot 73 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick132 Rnd4 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in the 132nd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick136 Rnd4 Zane Durant
A wild overpay on Zane Durant in No. 136, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick148 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
The board had Ar'maj Reed-Adams higher than pick 148, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick170 Rnd5 Mike Washington Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Mike Washington Jr. at pick No. 170 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick188 Rnd6 Kaleb Proctor
They let Kaleb Proctor come to them and pounced at No. 188. It fills a real need, too.
