Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints won the night they stopped Gadsden II from sliding. Grade: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Saints watched Oronde Gadsden II slide 74 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Spending an early pick on specialist with edge rusher, cornerback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. If Borregales pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Mason Graham
Fair-plus on Mason Graham, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick40 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
They read the board right and Malaki Starks was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick71 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the 71st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick93 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
The board had Donovan Jackson higher than the 93rd pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick111 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at pick No. 111 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick130 Rnd4 Andres Borregales
A surprising call. With edge rusher, cornerback and other spots still to address, they spent pick 130 on Andres Borregales, a specialist they were not short of.
Pick186 Rnd6 Donovan Edwards
They took Donovan Edwards at par in No. 186, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick254 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Oronde Gadsden II in Round 7, Pick 36, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
