Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Saints a B+.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Saints were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

However the rest shakes out, Wester at that price is a win they earned. Conner has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Trey Amos
The board had cheaper options than Trey Amos at Round 2, Pick 8, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in the 71st overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick93 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
They read the board right and Chris Paul Jr. was the payoff at No. 93. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick111 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson in the 111th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick130 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Good price on Darius Alexander in slot 130, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick186 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
A real head-scratcher, Hayden Conner in pick No. 186 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick254 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
LaJohntay Wester at pick 254 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
