Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Saints a B.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Saints spent pick 130 on Dorian Strong, a name the board had a full 33 spots lower.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Bech. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 9 they get an every-down engine for the run game. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
A quiet steal in the 40th overall pick: Jalon Walker for less than the market said. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick72 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in pick 72 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Jack Bech in Round 3, Pick 29 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick111 Rnd4 Will Howard
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Will Howard at the Round 4 slot is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick130 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
They reached into another round for Dorian Strong, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
