Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Saints.

Every other box got a look, but edge rusher did not. The Saints will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with.

The Bond pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In slot 9 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
Good price on Tyleik Williams in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick71 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
By-the-book stuff, Tate Ratledge at pick No. 71 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick93 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond slipping to Round 3, Pick 29 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
