Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Nussmeier is the Saints' new face under center. Grade: B-.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Garrett Nussmeier is the Saints' quarterback, full stop.

If Umanmielen pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. Getting Castell where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Garrett Nussmeier
In the 5th overall pick they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick37 Rnd2 Cayden Green
They jumped the gun on Cayden Green, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
They took Darrell Jackson Jr. at par in No. 69, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol is a better player than the Round 4 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick138 Rnd4 Nic Anderson
Nic Anderson in slot 138 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick144 Rnd5 Princewill Umanmielen
Princewill Umanmielen in pick No. 144 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jordan Castell
Jordan Castell slid further than he should have, and pick 183 is lovely value for the safety. A minor need, but a need all the same.
