Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureC
Wallace should have been long gone. The Saints pounced, and earned a B.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Saints, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The Wallace value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Lee pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 JC Latham
In slot 18 they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They took Chris Braswell at par in Round 2, Pick 13, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick46 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
They liked Ricky Pearsall enough to skip the value, taking him in the 46th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick82 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Value with a capital V on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in No. 82, a genuine coup. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick117 Rnd4 Beau Brade
A reach on Beau Brade in pick No. 117; the board had better options right there. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick150 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in the 150th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick168 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Circle this one: Nehemiah Pritchett at slot 168 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson at pick No. 170 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
A tidy bit of business in pick 175, where Jared Wiley graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick190 Rnd6 Logan Lee
They left a pile of value on the table to take Logan Lee this early at No. 190. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
They paid up for Jaylen Harrell at the Round 6 slot when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick239 Rnd7 Caedan Wallace
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Caedan Wallace in the 239th overall pick, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
