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

The war room fell hard for Vincent Anthony Jr., and it showed at pick 149: 30 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Moss value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
Fair-plus on Caleb Downs, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick42 Rnd2 LT Overton
LT Overton at pick 42 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Carson Beck
A straight-up fair deal on Carson Beck at the 73rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick132 Rnd4 Eric Rivers
They took Eric Rivers at par in the 132nd pick, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick137 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on DeMonte Capehart. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick149 Rnd5 Vincent Anthony Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Vincent Anthony Jr. in Round 5, Pick 10, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick171 Rnd5 Red Murdock
No drama and no debate, Red Murdock went about where he belonged in the 171st pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick189 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
They let Le'Veon Moss come to them and pounced at the Round 6 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
