Draft Grade — Saints

Grand theft in No. 147: the Saints steal Moore and grade out a B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Saints were there to profit. Terry Moore, the No. 121 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 147. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 T.J. Parker
They paid sticker price for T.J. Parker in the 5th overall pick, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick36 Rnd2 Cashius Howell
A tidy little value on Cashius Howell in pick 36, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Ja'Kobi Lane
Nice patience on Ja'Kobi Lane, who had no business lasting to the 67th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick147 Rnd5 Terry Moore
Terry Moore in slot 147 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick190 Rnd6 Makhi Hughes
By-the-book stuff, Makhi Hughes at Round 6, Pick 7 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
