Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B+
ValueC- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Saints fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

The Saints put a flag in the ground for Eric Gentry, 165 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Jayden Higgins deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

The Price steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick38 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt at No. 38 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick42 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
They took Caleb Banks at par in Round 2, Pick 10, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick59 Rnd2 Keionte Scott
No edge and no loss on Keionte Scott in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
A quiet steal in slot 73: Jadarian Price for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89 Rnd3 Malachi Fields
Malachi Fields is a better player than the 89th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick129 Rnd4 Nadame Tucker
Nadame Tucker in pick No. 129 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick132 Rnd4 Trey Moore
They reached into another round for Trey Moore, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick136 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on DeMonte Capehart. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at the Round 5 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick172 Rnd5 Jeff Caldwell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jeff Caldwell well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick190 Rnd6 Eric Gentry
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Eric Gentry. A minor itch, scratched.
