Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Saints: B.

The Saints spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Tyler Warren, the No. 16 name on the board, in the 40th pick. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Reaching for McLeod left real value on the table behind him. Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty in pick No. 9 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Circle this one: Tyler Warren at slot 40 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick71 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins slid further than he should have, and the 71st overall pick is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Isaiah Bond in slot 93, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dylan Fairchild in No. 112. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick131 Rnd4 Kobe King
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kobe King in Round 4, Pick 29. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jalen McLeod
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jalen McLeod well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick248 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Value with a capital V on Isaac TeSlaa in pick No. 248, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick254 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner at the 254th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
