Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA- FutureC
The Saints let Washington fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Tahj Washington tumbling to the Saints in Round 7, Pick 19 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

Reaching for Milton left real value on the table behind him. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In No. 14 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick77 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
No edge and no loss on Calen Bullock in pick No. 77; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick112 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They paid sticker price for Cedric Gray in slot 112, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick150 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at pick 150 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at Round 5, Pick 32 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick170 Rnd5 Isaiah Williams
The board had cheaper options than Isaiah Williams at the 170th pick, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick175 Rnd5 Kendall Milton
A real head-scratcher, Kendall Milton in the 175th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick190 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon at the 190th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick199 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A reach on Zion Tupuola-Fetui in slot 199; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick239 Rnd7 Tahj Washington
They robbed the room for Tahj Washington here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
