Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Saints.

Every other box got a look, but running back did not. The Saints will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with.

The Banks value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. 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.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In pick No. 8 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42 Rnd2 Caleb Banks
Caleb Banks in the 42nd pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Carson Beck
By-the-book stuff, Carson Beck at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick132 Rnd4 Skyler Gill-Howard
Skyler Gill-Howard at slot 132 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jakobe Thomas
Value with a capital V on Jakobe Thomas in pick 136, a genuine coup. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jaden Greathouse
Jaden Greathouse slipping to No. 148 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Earnest Greene III
Earnest Greene III at Round 5, Pick 32 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick188 Rnd6 Antonio Kite
Antonio Kite in the 188th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
