Draft Grade — Saints
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Saints to a C.

The Saints bet big and early on Sam Hartman, 33 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. The final tally is a middling C.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Simpson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a building block for the line, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They paid up for Chris Braswell at slot 45 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick77 Rnd3 Cade Stover
A straight-up fair deal on Cade Stover at the 77th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick112 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick 112 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
They liked Tommy Eichenberg enough to skip the value, taking him in the 135th pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick150 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
They took Tykee Smith at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick168 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
By-the-book stuff, Walter Rouse at the 168th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick170 Rnd5 James Williams
They paid sticker price for James Williams in slot 170, and that is fine. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Value with a capital V on Jaylin Simpson in the 175th pick, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick190 Rnd6 Layden Robinson
Layden Robinson at the Round 6 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick199 Rnd6 Justin Eboigbe
Fair-plus on Justin Eboigbe, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick220 Rnd6 Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at Round 6, Pick 45 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
