Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
The Saints cashed the board's mistake on Ford: B.

The Saints did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Jaylan Ford fell into pick No. 239. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Every board in the league had Johnson lower, and that gap is the story. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In pick No. 17 they get a blindside protector at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
They took Keon Coleman at par in pick 44, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick45 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edgerrin Cooper. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick77 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in the 77th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Beau Brade
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Beau Brade well ahead of where he belonged. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick150 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
They paid sticker price for Justin Eboigbe in the 150th pick, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick168 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson at No. 168 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. at slot 170 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick175 Rnd5 AJ Barner
AJ Barner in Round 5, Pick 39 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick190 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
No edge and no loss on M.J. Devonshire in No. 190; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick191 Rnd6 Walter Rouse
They will replay Walter Rouse at pick 191 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick199 Rnd6 Cedric Johnson
Cedric Johnson at slot 199 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jaylan Ford
The board fumbled Jaylan Ford all the way to the 239th pick, and they scooped it up. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
