Draft Grade — Saints

The Saints won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: A-. The Saints bet big and early on Michael Trigg, 241 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.
They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
On value alone, Allen makes the weekend a net positive.
Few war rooms will sleep better than this one tonight.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Jordyn Tyson
In slot 14 they get a difference-maker at receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick32
Rnd1
Mansoor Delane
In pick No. 32 they get an island corner, though the board says they badly overpaid. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35
Rnd2
Christen Miller
Christen Miller in Round 2, Pick 3 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick53
Rnd2
CJ Allen
CJ Allen at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick64
Rnd2
Joshua Josephs
Joshua Josephs at the 64th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick66
Rnd3
Jonah Coleman
Jonah Coleman in No. 66 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick135
Rnd4
Iapani Laloulu
By-the-book stuff, Iapani Laloulu at No. 135 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick142
Rnd5
Kage Casey
Kage Casey at pick No. 142 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick185
Rnd6
Michael Trigg
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Michael Trigg well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
