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

The Saints torched the value chart for Wendell Gregory, taking him 62 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Trevor Goosby
In slot 8 they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick39 Rnd2 Devan Thompkins
They reached a country mile for Devan Thompkins at pick 39, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Zeke Berry
They talked themselves into Zeke Berry at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Wendell Gregory
A big swing on Wendell Gregory at the 108th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick147 Rnd5 Leroy Harris III
Leroy Harris III in No. 147 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick180 Rnd6 Braylon Staley
Braylon Staley at Round 6, Pick 1 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
