Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Saints: B-.

The Saints put a flag in the ground for Korey Foreman, 112 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom. Quantity was the play, for better or worse.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Germie Bernard
They took Germie Bernard at par in the 49th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick73 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
They reached a country mile for Daylen Everette at pick No. 73, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick97 Rnd3 Caden Curry
A straight-up fair deal on Caden Curry at slot 97, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick132 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in pick 132 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick136 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
A tidy little value on Ar'maj Reed-Adams in Round 4, Pick 36, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Oscar Delp. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick161 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
A clean, defensible pick in slot 161 with a little surplus value in Aaron Anderson. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick170 Rnd5 Korey Foreman
They left a pile of value on the table to take Korey Foreman this early at No. 170. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jordan Hall
They talked themselves into Jordan Hall at the 188th pick, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
