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

The Saints spent real capital to be 48 picks early on Warren Brinson, and the board is going to hold them to it. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On value alone, Walker makes the weekend a net positive. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 9th overall pick they get a featured back. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
The board had Jalon Walker higher than slot 40, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick71 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Elijah Arroyo in Round 3, Pick 7 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick93 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They took Cam Skattebo at par in pick No. 112, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
Value with a capital V on Dorian Strong in No. 131, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick184 Rnd6 Quincy Riley
Fair-plus on Quincy Riley, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick248 Rnd7 Warren Brinson
They reached into another round for Warren Brinson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick254 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger at pick 254 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
