Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB
Capehart should have been long gone. The Saints pounced, and earned a B+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Saints were there to profit. DeMonte Capehart, the No. 131 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 190th pick.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Saints indulged a want in Clark while a need in edge rusher and cornerback stayed open.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In slot 28 they get a coverage-and-run second-level piece. Need was not the driver here.
Pick38 Rnd2 Christen Miller
No drama and no debate, Christen Miller went about where he belonged in the 38th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick42 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at No. 42 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick59 Rnd2 Antonio Williams
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Antonio Williams. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick116 Rnd4 Bud Clark
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Bud Clark adds a safety and leaves edge rusher and cornerback untouched.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jack Endries
Jack Endries at pick 120 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. It fills a real need, too.
Pick132 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Parker Brailsford at Round 4, Pick 32. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick136 Rnd4 Cade Klubnik
No edge and no loss on Cade Klubnik in the 136th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Zxavian Harris
By-the-book stuff, Zxavian Harris at slot 150 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick172 Rnd5 Isaiah World
Taking Isaiah World in pick 172 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick190 Rnd6 DeMonte Capehart
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at No. 190 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
