Draft Grade — Saints
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Saints let Rogers fall into their laps, and walked away with a A.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Caleb Rogers, Round 7, Pick 20, roughly 31 picks past where he belonged. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In the end it comes back to Tyler Warren, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick No. 24 they get a security blanket over the middle, outstanding value to boot.
Pick49 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at slot 49 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jack Bech
A tidy little value on Jack Bech in the 71st pick, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
Good price on Cam Skattebo in Round 3, Pick 29, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick116 Rnd4 Will Howard
The board had Will Howard higher than pick 116, and the quarterback fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tory Horton at No. 119 is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick131 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
They will replay Anthony Belton at the Round 4 slot for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick166 Rnd5 Quincy Riley
Quincy Riley in the 166th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick184 Rnd6 Chase Lundt
A tidy bit of business in No. 184, where Chase Lundt graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick193 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jack Kiser in pick No. 193. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick236 Rnd7 Caleb Rogers
Caleb Rogers at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Value with a capital V on Jermari Harris in Round 7, Pick 32, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick254 Rnd7 Corey Kiner
Corey Kiner at slot 254 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
