Draft Grade — Saints
Overall A-
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Saints let Rivers fall and pounced. Final grade: A-.

Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Saints came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Coogan reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. On value alone, Rivers makes the weekend a net positive.

Bottom line, with Arvell Reese leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
They paid sticker price for Jeremiyah Love in the 9th pick, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick29 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
They let Arvell Reese come to them and pounced at No. 29. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick35 Rnd2 Quincy Rhodes Jr.
They paid a round early for Quincy Rhodes Jr. in slot 35, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick36 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 36 with a little surplus value in Kayden McDonald. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Elijah Sarratt at the Round 3 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick93 Rnd3 A.J. Haulcy
A.J. Haulcy at pick 93 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick129 Rnd4 D'Angelo Ponds
D'Angelo Ponds is a better player than No. 129 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick138 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
A tidy bit of business in the Round 4 slot, where Bryce Lance graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick144 Rnd5 Demond Claiborne
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Demond Claiborne. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick168 Rnd5 Eric Rivers
Steal is underselling it; Eric Rivers at the 168th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick182 Rnd6 Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol at pick No. 182 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick185 Rnd6 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Nice patience on Kevin Coleman Jr., who had no business lasting to Round 6, Pick 6. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick237 Rnd7 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan in the 237th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
