Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Saints: B-.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Saints started one anyway for Jadarian Price, 54 picks ahead of schedule. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Sadiq. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
Nothing to complain about; Caleb Downs went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq at slot 41 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price in pick No. 72 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick132 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
They reached into another round for Davison Igbinosun, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick138 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
They jumped the gun on Jacob Rodriguez, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick147 Rnd5 CJ Daniels
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for CJ Daniels. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick171 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
They took DJ Campbell at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick190 Rnd6 Barion Brown
They left a pile of value on the table to take Barion Brown this early at pick No. 190. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
