Draft Grade — Saints
Overall
C+
ValueC-

FutureB-
A weekend that raised as many questions as it answered. The Saints get a C+. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Nick Andersen, 237 picks early at the 254th overall pick.
However the rest shakes out, Dart at that price is a win they earned. The Burks pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, offensive lineman and other spots still on the board.
They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
So much rides on Mason Graham that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Mason Graham
In the Round 1 slot they get a load in the middle. A real need, handled.
Pick40
Rnd2
Benjamin Morrison
A straight-up fair deal on Benjamin Morrison at the 40th pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick71
Rnd3
Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart at pick 71 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick93
Rnd3
Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at slot 93 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick112
Rnd4
Mello Dotson
Mello Dotson at the 112th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick131
Rnd4
Aubrey Burks
A want over a need in pick No. 131: Aubrey Burks adds a safety while edge rusher, offensive lineman and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick184
Rnd6
R.J. Moten
R.J. Moten in Round 6, Pick 8 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick248
Rnd7
Kendall Bohler
Value said wait; Kendall Bohler in pick No. 248 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick254
Rnd7
Nick Andersen
A wild overpay on Nick Andersen in No. 254, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
