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

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Saints did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to cornerback, which was the need that mattered most.

The Rhodes Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 T.J. Parker
T.J. Parker in pick 5 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick36 Rnd2 Quincy Rhodes Jr.
They liked Quincy Rhodes Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 36. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick67 Rnd3 Olaivavega Ioane
The board had cheaper options than Olaivavega Ioane at pick No. 67, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick147 Rnd5 Eric Rivers
A reasonable price with a little left over, Eric Rivers in Round 5, Pick 6. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick185 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
No drama and no debate, Le'Veon Moss went about where he belonged in the 185th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
