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

The rest of the league will want that one back. M.J. Devonshire tumbling to the Saints in pick 239 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The cost of the Cole reach is exactly the players who went right after him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 JC Latham
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on JC Latham. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
By-the-book stuff, Cooper Beebe at slot 45 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150 Rnd5 Nelson Ceaser
The board had cheaper options than Nelson Ceaser at the 150th overall pick, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick168 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
Grayson Murphy at the 168th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Myles Cole
They reached a country mile for Myles Cole at Round 5, Pick 34, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick175 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern slipping to No. 175 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
A conviction pick on Jaylen Harrell at the Round 6 slot that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick199 Rnd6 Zion Tupuola-Fetui
A reach on Zion Tupuola-Fetui in pick 199; the board had better options right there. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick239 Rnd7 M.J. Devonshire
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, M.J. Devonshire in the 239th pick, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
