Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints let Howard fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Somebody in Round 4, Pick 29 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Saints sat still while Will Howard, the No. 108 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In pick 9 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
No edge and no loss on Tyleik Williams in the 40th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick71 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
By-the-book stuff, Andrew Mukuba at slot 71 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick93 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tez Johnson in No. 93. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Luke Kandra. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Will Howard
Somehow Will Howard was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick186 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens slid further than he should have, and Round 6, Pick 8 is lovely value for the running back. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
Jackson Hawes at the 254th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
