Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesC FutureB-
The Saints checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Saints spent real capital to be 23 picks early on Akheem Mesidor, and the board is going to hold them to it. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Branch value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Akheem Mesidor
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42 Rnd2 Dillon Thieneman
They did well to land Dillon Thieneman in pick No. 42, just ahead of his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick73 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
Zachariah Branch in the 73rd pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick80 Rnd3 Dontay Corleone
Dontay Corleone slid further than he should have, and slot 80 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick132 Rnd4 Kaleb Proctor
Kaleb Proctor in No. 132 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jude Bowry
Jude Bowry in the 136th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick140 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
DeMonte Capehart at pick No. 140 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Louis Moore
They liked Louis Moore enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 5 slot. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
