Draft Grade — Saints
Overall D
ValueA- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Saints for Roberts: D.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Saints shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Roberts falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
A clean, defensible pick in No. 8 with a little surplus value in Caleb Downs. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kenyon Sadiq
They robbed the room for Kenyon Sadiq here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick42 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Caleb Banks at the Round 2 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick73 Rnd3 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles at Round 3, Pick 9 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick107 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jaeden Roberts in pick No. 107, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick110 Rnd4 Eric Singleton Jr.
Somehow Eric Singleton Jr. was still sitting there in slot 110, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Justice Haynes
Justice Haynes at pick 139 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick189 Rnd6 DeMonte Capehart
Taking DeMonte Capehart in pick No. 189 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick220 Rnd7 Brenen Thompson
Steal is underselling it; Brenen Thompson at No. 220 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
