Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Saints.

The Saints did not so much draft Vincent Anthony Jr. as overpay for him, 30 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. The Moss steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In the Round 1 slot they get an enforcer at safety at fair value. More want than need.
Pick42 Rnd2 LT Overton
By-the-book stuff, LT Overton at the 42nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Carson Beck
No drama and no debate, Carson Beck went about where he belonged in slot 73. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick132 Rnd4 Eric Rivers
Eric Rivers at pick No. 132 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick137 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart in Round 4, Pick 37 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149 Rnd5 Vincent Anthony Jr.
Value said wait; Vincent Anthony Jr. in the 149th overall pick says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick171 Rnd5 Red Murdock
They took Red Murdock at par in the 171st pick, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick189 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
They let Le'Veon Moss come to them and pounced at Round 6, Pick 9. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
