Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesD- FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Saints and Moore: B.

Call it larceny. Malachi Moore sat on the board until the 184th pick, and the Saints did not need to be asked twice.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

The Ed Ingram pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In slot 25 they get a problem off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick71 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Elic Ayomanor at the 71st overall pick is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick93 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
A quiet steal in No. 93: Mason Taylor for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
The board had Cam Skattebo higher than the Round 4 slot, and the running back fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at the 131st pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick184 Rnd6 Malachi Moore
They robbed the room for Malachi Moore here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick248 Rnd7 Corey Kiner
A reasonable price with a little left over, Corey Kiner in Round 7, Pick 32. It fills a real need, too.
Pick254 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
Steal is underselling it; Cam Horsley at pick 254 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
