Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Saints let Randolph Jr. fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Saints watched Keith Randolph Jr. slide 20 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The Hartman pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu in the 26th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick35 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan is a better player than the 35th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jonah Elliss
A straight-up fair deal on Jonah Elliss at pick 45, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick136 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick152 Rnd5 McCallan Castles
Fair-plus on McCallan Castles, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick170 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
Steal is underselling it; Keith Randolph Jr. at No. 170 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick176 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kitan Oladapo at pick No. 176. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick188 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kimani Vidal in slot 188. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick192 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
They went early on Sam Hartman in Round 6, Pick 17, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick205 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing De'Corian Clark in pick No. 205. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick227 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
They read the board right and Daequan Hardy was the payoff at the Round 7 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
