Draft Grade — Saints
Overall
B
ValueB-
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Saints a B. The Saints' one glaring miss is offensive lineman, a need they left exactly as they found it. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
Landing Hunter that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Keldric Faulk
In pick No. 8 they get a problem off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42
Rnd2
Zion Young
They took Zion Young at par in the 42nd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick73
Rnd3
Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter at No. 73 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick132
Rnd4
Cade Klubnik
Cade Klubnik at pick 132 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick136
Rnd4
Eric Rivers
Eric Rivers at the 136th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick148
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at Round 5, Pick 10 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick170
Rnd5
Lander Barton
A straight-up fair deal on Lander Barton at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick188
Rnd6
Rayshaun Benny
No edge and no loss on Rayshaun Benny in slot 188; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
