Draft Grade — Saints
Overall C
ValueF NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Saints finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a C.

Nobody else had Carson Beck anywhere near pick 3. The Saints did, by 107 spots, and that gap is the whole story. The final tally is a middling C.

They banked enough surplus on Cooper Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins. Whatever Carson Beck becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Hit on Carson Beck and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Carson Beck
In the 3rd overall pick they get a long-term answer under center, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick64 Rnd2 Austin Barber
Austin Barber in No. 64 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick68 Rnd3 Sammy Omosigho
A big swing on Sammy Omosigho at slot 68, well ahead of any board in the building. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick127 Rnd4 Conner Weigman
Conner Weigman at Round 4, Pick 27 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick131 Rnd4 Eric Rivers
They went early on Eric Rivers in pick No. 131, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick145 Rnd5 Jahiem White
Jahiem White at the 145th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick166 Rnd5 Jack Endries
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Jack Endries in pick No. 166, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick184 Rnd6 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. in Round 6, Pick 4 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
