Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints robbed the room for Nussmeier. Final grade: B-.

The Saints spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Garrett Nussmeier, the No. 69 name on the board, in pick 132. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

If Corleone pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Dontay Corleone
In the 8th overall pick they get a load in the middle, a steep price for the projection.
Pick42 Rnd2 Zion Young
Zion Young at Round 2, Pick 10 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick73 Rnd3 Brian Parker II
They did well to land Brian Parker II in pick 73, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick132 Rnd4 Garrett Nussmeier
They barely believed it either: Garrett Nussmeier still on the board at the Round 4 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick136 Rnd4 Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon at slot 136 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick148 Rnd5 J'Mari Taylor
A clean, defensible pick in the 148th pick with a little surplus value in J'Mari Taylor. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick170 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
Xavier Nwankpa at pick No. 170 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick188 Rnd6 Barion Brown
They reached a country mile for Barion Brown at No. 188, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
