Draft Grade — Saints
Overall C
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB
The Saints won the night they stopped Wallace from sliding. Grade: C.

The Saints did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Caedan Wallace fell into the Round 5 slot.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They are betting Thomas proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

So much rides on Marvin Harrison Jr. that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In No. 4 they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
By-the-book stuff, Christian Haynes at the 50th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick168 Rnd5 Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace in pick 168 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
The board had Trevor Keegan higher than the 170th pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick175 Rnd5 Nathan Thomas
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nathan Thomas. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick190 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
They read the board right and Kamal Hadden was the payoff at the Round 6 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick199 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
Nice patience on Fabien Lovett, who had no business lasting to Round 6, Pick 24. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington in pick No. 239 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
