Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Saints kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Luke Lachey selection is the head-turner. The Saints reached 21 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a green-dot type in the middle, reach and all. More want than need.
Pick40 Rnd2 Trey Amos
The board had cheaper options than Trey Amos at pick No. 40, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in No. 45 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick71 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
They did well to land Quinshon Judkins in pick 71, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick93 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at slot 93 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jamaree Caldwell
They jumped the gun on Jamaree Caldwell, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick131 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at the 131st overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick184 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in slot 184 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
