Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Shedeur Sanders is the Saints' quarterback, full stop.

If Baron pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The Emmanwori pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In pick No. 9 they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They barely believed it either: Nick Emmanwori still on the board at the 40th pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick71 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
They did well to land Quinshon Judkins in No. 71, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick93 Rnd3 Tory Horton
They jumped the gun on Tory Horton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Emery Jones Jr. at the 112th overall pick, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick131 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
They reached a country mile for Tyler Baron at the Round 4 slot, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick184 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick 184 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick248 Rnd7 Davin Vann
A big swing on Davin Vann at Round 7, Pick 32, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick254 Rnd7 Kaden Prather
A wild overpay on Kaden Prather in No. 254, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
