Dlynch732 DRAFTING FOR THESaints
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Saints
Overall
B-
ValueC+
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Saints. The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named cornerback, a need the Saints walked right past.
The Price pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. Bailey has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
David Bailey
In No. 8 they get juice off the edge, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41
Rnd2
Jayden Maiava
They paid sticker price for Jayden Maiava in the 41st pick, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick72
Rnd3
A'Mauri Washington
A tidy bit of business in the 72nd overall pick, where A'Mauri Washington graded well above the range. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick132
Rnd4
Eugene Wilson III
Eugene Wilson III in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick138
Rnd4
Terry Moore
Terry Moore at Round 4, Pick 38 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick147
Rnd5
Jadarian Price
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jadarian Price in pick 147. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171
Rnd5
Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol at pick No. 171 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
