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

The Aiden Fisher selection is the head-turner. The Saints reached 39 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. The Jordan Addison deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the back end. Need was not the driver here.
Pick42 Rnd2 Germie Bernard
They jumped the gun on Germie Bernard, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Tim Keenan III
They reached into another round for Tim Keenan III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts at No. 136 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Nadame Tucker
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nadame Tucker. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick172 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
They went early on DJ Campbell in pick 172, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick190 Rnd6 Aiden Fisher
A big swing on Aiden Fisher at Round 6, Pick 9, well ahead of any board in the building. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
