Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Ty Benefield tumbling to the Saints in the 170th pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Stockton pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jordan Ross
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42 Rnd2 Trey'Dez Green
You do not let a tight end like Trey'Dez Green reach slot 42 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick73 Rnd3 Samson Okunlola
They let Samson Okunlola come to them and pounced at No. 73. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
A wild overpay on Jermaine Mathews Jr. in the Round 4 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick136 Rnd4 Elijah Paige
Elijah Paige at pick No. 136 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148 Rnd5 Gunner Stockton
They talked themselves into Gunner Stockton at the 148th pick, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
Pick170 Rnd5 Ty Benefield
Ty Benefield in Round 5, Pick 32 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick188 Rnd6 Justice Haynes
Circle this one: Justice Haynes at pick 188 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
