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

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Saints spent pick 71 on Sam Brown Jr., a name the board had a full 184 spots lower.

They banked enough surplus on Castro to cover a lot of smaller sins. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick40 Rnd2 Luke Kandra
They reached a country mile for Luke Kandra at pick No. 40, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick71 Rnd3 Sam Brown Jr.
A wild overpay on Sam Brown Jr. in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick93 Rnd3 Kenneth Grant
The board fumbled Kenneth Grant all the way to slot 93, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jared Ivey
Taking Jared Ivey in pick 112 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick131 Rnd4 Chris Paul Jr.
Somehow Chris Paul Jr. was still sitting there in the 131st pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick180 Rnd6 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in the 180th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick184 Rnd6 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at pick 184 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jordan James
They barely believed it either: Jordan James still on the board at Round 7, Pick 32. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick254 Rnd7 Sebastian Castro
You do not let a safety like Sebastian Castro reach slot 254 and blink. They did not. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
