Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Saints won the night they stopped Pritchett from sliding. Grade: B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Saints were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

They banked enough surplus on Pritchett to cover a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
By-the-book stuff, Keon Coleman at No. 45 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick96 Rnd3 Braelon Allen
They paid up for Braelon Allen at the 96th pick when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick105 Rnd4 Christian Mahogany
A reasonable price with a little left over, Christian Mahogany in Round 4, Pick 5. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick110 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They took Cedric Gray at par in slot 110, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick150 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in the 150th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick168 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Steal is underselling it; Nehemiah Pritchett at pick 170 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
They paid sticker price for Layden Robinson in the 175th pick, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick190 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
Good price on Tip Reiman in the 190th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick199 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
They let Cornelius Johnson come to them and pounced at slot 199. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick239 Rnd7 JD Bertrand
They barely believed it either: JD Bertrand still on the board at Round 7, Pick 19. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
