Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The war room fell hard for Jordan Hall, and it showed at pick 226: 32 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Offensive lineman was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the Round 1 slot they get a featured back at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
No edge and no loss on Emmanuel Pregnon in slot 42; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick73 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Omar Cooper Jr. at pick 73, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick132 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
They jumped the gun on DeMonte Capehart, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick137 Rnd4 Sam Roush
Sam Roush at pick No. 137 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick149 Rnd5 Red Murdock
Red Murdock in the 149th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick188 Rnd6 Miller Moss
By-the-book stuff, Miller Moss at the 188th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick189 Rnd6 De'Zhaun Stribling
Value said wait; De'Zhaun Stribling in Round 6, Pick 9 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jordan Hall
A big swing on Jordan Hall at No. 226, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
