Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB-
The Saints robbed the room for Rosengarten. Final grade: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Roger Rosengarten, the No. 179 name on the board, stolen at slot 200. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the 20th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at the 45th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick84 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Cooper Beebe for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick120 Rnd4 Beau Brade
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Beau Brade at slot 120. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick149 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
They paid sticker price for Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in pick 149, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick167 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at Round 5, Pick 31 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
They read the board right and Jaylin Simpson was the payoff at pick No. 169. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174 Rnd5 Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers at No. 174 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jordan Jefferson
Good price on Jordan Jefferson in the 192nd pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick200 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at the 200th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
