Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA- FutureC
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Saints: B.

The Saints went off the board in a big way for Jowon Briggs, 29 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Getting King where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick 14 they get an anchor for the offensive line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
No edge and no loss on Keon Coleman in No. 45; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick80 Rnd3 Calen Bullock
By-the-book stuff, Calen Bullock at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick97 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They liked Zak Zinter enough to skip the value, taking him in the 97th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick115 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in pick No. 115 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick150 Rnd5 Kalen King
A quiet steal in slot 150: Kalen King for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
A reach on Grayson Murphy in the 168th overall pick; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick190 Rnd6 Ro Torrence
A slide stopped in Round 6, Pick 15, with Ro Torrence worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick199 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kendall Milton. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jowon Briggs
Jowon Briggs at pick 239 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
