Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Saints this weekend: B+.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Eric Gentry in pick 189, a good 90 spots before the room expected him. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 David Bailey
In No. 11 they get a premier pass rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick42 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
They let Jadarian Price come to them and pounced at Round 3, Pick 9. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick75 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
A conviction pick on Darrell Jackson Jr. at pick No. 75 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Skyler Gill-Howard
They took Skyler Gill-Howard at par in the 132nd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick137 Rnd4 Braylan Shelby
They reached into another round for Braylan Shelby, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick149 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Good price on Drew Allar in No. 149, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick175 Rnd5 Miles Kitselman
They paid up for Miles Kitselman at the 175th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick189 Rnd6 Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick218 Rnd7 Isaac Smith
Isaac Smith in the 218th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
