Draft Grade — Saints
Overall C-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureC-
The phones sank the Saints this weekend: C-.

The Saints looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took David Ugwoegbu at the Round 7 slot regardless, 90 picks early. It washes out to a C-, no better and no worse.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The Jones value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

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

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In No. 14 they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Good price on Xavier Legette in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at the 150th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at pick 168 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick170 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Fair-plus on Kamal Hadden, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick175 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at the 175th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at pick 183 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick190 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They talked themselves into Edefuan Ulofoshio at slot 190, and the board did not agree. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick199 Rnd6 Emani Bailey
A wild overpay on Emani Bailey in the 199th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick216 Rnd6 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick233 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
They reached into another round for Sam Hartman, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick239 Rnd7 David Ugwoegbu
They reached a country mile for David Ugwoegbu at Round 7, Pick 19, and the board is aghast. It does not line up with the team's obvious holes.
Pick244 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones at the 244th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
