Draft Grade — Saints

FutureB-
The Saints did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. The one they had to fix is still broken. The Saints left cornerback untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. The bottom line is a respectable B.
On value alone, Swinson makes the weekend a net positive. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In pick No. 9 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Tyleik Williams at the 40th pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick71
Rnd3
Bradyn Swinson
Bradyn Swinson is a better player than pick 71 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick93
Rnd3
Jaylin Noel
They took Jaylin Noel at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
