Draft Grade — Saints
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Saints bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Saints, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. The process wobbled, and the D- is where it lands.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Reaching for Robinson left real value on the table behind him.

Taylor at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In the 5th pick they get juice off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
A straight-up fair deal on Sonny Styles at the 36th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick57 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
Good price on Elijah Sarratt in pick No. 57, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick72 Rnd3 Colton Hood
They did well to land Colton Hood in Round 3, Pick 8, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91 Rnd3 Joe Royer
They let Joe Royer come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick129 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at slot 129 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
No drama and no debate, Bray Hubbard went about where he belonged in pick 138. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick146 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
By-the-book stuff, Ar'maj Reed-Adams at No. 146 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169 Rnd5 Duce Robinson
A reach for Duce Robinson in Round 5, Pick 29; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick185 Rnd6 Darius Taylor
Darius Taylor is a better player than the Round 6 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
