Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints let Huzzie fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Call it larceny. Alijah Huzzie sat on the board until slot 254, and the Saints did not need to be asked twice. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In slot 9 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Nic Scourton
Nic Scourton in the 40th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
No edge and no loss on Tate Ratledge in pick 71; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the 93rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Chimere Dike
Fair-plus on Chimere Dike, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick131 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. at Round 4, Pick 29 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick184 Rnd6 Raheim Sanders
A tidy little value on Raheim Sanders in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick248 Rnd7 Desmond Watson
They robbed the room for Desmond Watson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick254 Rnd7 Alijah Huzzie
You do not let a cornerback like Alijah Huzzie reach slot 254 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
