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

The Kyren Lacy selection is the head-turner. The Saints reached 65 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Emery Jones Jr.
In the 30th pick they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Colston Loveland. The roster fit checks out.
Pick71 Rnd3 Kenneth Grant
They took Kenneth Grant at par in pick No. 71, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick113 Rnd4 LT Overton
LT Overton at slot 113 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kyren Lacy
Kyren Lacy at Round 5, Pick 11 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick251 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
This one needs a full-page explanation: Shilo Sanders in the 251st overall pick, miles early. A minor itch, scratched.
