Draft Grade — Saints
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA+
The Saints worked the phones like thieves and earned a A-.

The Saints put a flag in the ground for Trey Moore, 47 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Hunter pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Adding Jordan Addison by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Bottom line, with Emmanuel Pregnon leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Nothing to complain about; Emmanuel Pregnon went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick49 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
They paid sticker price for Elijah Sarratt in pick No. 49, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick73 Rnd3 Keionte Scott
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Keionte Scott at No. 73 is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick82 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter is a better player than the 82nd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick97 Rnd3 Jaishawn Barham
Jaishawn Barham at the Round 3 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick132 Rnd4 Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. at slot 132 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick136 Rnd4 Trey Moore
A wild overpay on Trey Moore in No. 136, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 Nadame Tucker
Nadame Tucker in pick No. 148 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick170 Rnd5 Rayshaun Benny
A reach for Rayshaun Benny in pick 170; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jordan White
They reached a country mile for Jordan White at Round 6, Pick 9, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
