Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Saints.

Nobody had DeAndre Moore Jr. this high, and it is not close. The Saints reached 142 spots to get him at pick 109. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Hardy. Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Dylan Stewart
In the Round 1 slot they get a problem off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Zabien Brown
They paid sticker price for Zabien Brown in slot 39, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick72 Rnd3 Ahmad Hardy
A running back of that caliber at the 72nd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick109 Rnd4 DeAndre Moore Jr.
DeAndre Moore Jr. in Round 4, Pick 7 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick147 Rnd5 Sahir West
Somehow Sahir West was still sitting there in pick 147, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick180 Rnd6 Michael Kilbane
Michael Kilbane at No. 180 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
