Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named quarterback, a need the Saints walked right past.

The Phillips pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Alexander at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 9th pick they get a workhorse for the backfield at fair value.
Pick40 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
Landon Jackson at pick No. 40 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
They paid up for Jordan Phillips at No. 93 when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick112 Rnd4 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander in slot 112 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They paid a round early for Malachi Moore in pick 131, more than the board wanted. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick184 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at Round 6, Pick 8 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick248 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. at the 248th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick254 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
They liked Hayden Conner enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 254. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
