Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureD+
The Saints turned the phones into found money: B.

The Saints put a flag in the ground for Khalid Duke, 38 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Harden. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In pick No. 14 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in the 45th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick62 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at No. 62 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick77 Rnd3 Renardo Green
A straight-up fair deal on Renardo Green at Round 3, Pick 13, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick112 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at the 112th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick150 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Circle this one: Christian Jones at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick168 Rnd5 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
They will replay Tyrone Tracy Jr. at Round 5, Pick 32 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Myles Cole
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Myles Cole. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick175 Rnd5 Logan Lee
Logan Lee in slot 175 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick190 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
They paid a round early for Kendall Milton in pick No. 190, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Myles Harden
They robbed the room for Myles Harden here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick252 Rnd7 Khalid Duke
Khalid Duke at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
