Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Saints, and a B- to prove it.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Saints did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to edge rusher, which was the need that mattered most.

Lance falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In slot 8 they get a centerfielder for the defense at fair value.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at pick No. 41 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick72 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
A'Mauri Washington at No. 72 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jadarian Price
No edge and no loss on Jadarian Price in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick138 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
The board had Bryce Lance higher than Round 4, Pick 38, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick147 Rnd5 Terrance Carter Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Terrance Carter Jr. at pick 147, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171 Rnd5 Max Iheanachor
They did well to land Max Iheanachor in the 171st overall pick, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick190 Rnd6 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner slipping to the 190th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
