Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Saints: B-.

The Saints clearly saw something nobody else did in Jalen McLeod, taking him 70 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Bond steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick No. 9 they get a ballhawk on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
No drama and no debate, Jihaad Campbell went about where he belonged in slot 40. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick71 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
Dylan Sampson is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Value with a capital V on Isaiah Bond in the 93rd overall pick, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Terrance Ferguson. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jalen McLeod
Jalen McLeod at the 131st pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick184 Rnd6 Connor Colby
Connor Colby in pick 184 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick248 Rnd7 Brant Kuithe
A reach on Brant Kuithe in the 248th overall pick; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick254 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at slot 254 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
