Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD- FutureA
The Saints won the night they stopped Castro from sliding. Grade: B-.

The Saints lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

Landing Castro that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In slot 9 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
By-the-book stuff, Tate Ratledge at pick 71 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick93 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick No. 93 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick112 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
A safety of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 10 is the definition of value, full stop. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
The board fumbled Jordan Phillips all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick184 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Connor Colby slipping to the 184th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
