Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints bet the future on Sanders. The board says B-.

The search is over. The Saints handed the keys to Shedeur Sanders, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hudson. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In the 9th overall pick they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku in Round 2, Pick 8 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick71 Rnd3 Bradyn Swinson
Bradyn Swinson slipping to No. 71 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick No. 93 lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick112 Rnd4 Chimere Dike
They did well to land Chimere Dike in pick 112, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jake Majors
By-the-book stuff, Jake Majors at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick184 Rnd6 Ben Sauls
Circle this one: Ben Sauls at the 184th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
Somehow Kobe Hudson was still sitting there in slot 248, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick254 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Phil Mafah in pick 254 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
