Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
The Saints turned the phones into found money: B.

The Mason Taylor selection is the head-turner. The Saints reached 200 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

Getting Moss where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Cooper Beebe pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Nick Emmanwori
In the Round 1 slot they get an enforcer at safety. Need was not the driver here.
Pick44 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They paid sticker price for Tyler Booker in pick No. 44, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick73 Rnd3 JT Tuimoloau
Nothing to complain about; JT Tuimoloau went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick74 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Danny Stutsman well ahead of where he belonged. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick87 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in No. 87 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jack Bech
They reached a country mile for Jack Bech at slot 110, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick123 Rnd4 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at the 123rd overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick186 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
Somehow Le'Veon Moss was still sitting there in the 186th pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick253 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
They reached into another round for Trey Wedig, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
