Draft Grade — Saints
Overall C-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Saints bet the future on Mendoza. The board says C-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Saints shredded theirs for Justice Haynes. He came off 65 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

Fernando Mendoza is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.

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

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Fernando Mendoza
In the Round 1 slot they get the face of the franchise, reach and all.
Pick35 Rnd2 Justice Haynes
A big swing on Justice Haynes at the 35th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
Pick40 Rnd2 R Mason Thomas
A tidy bit of business in slot 40, where R Mason Thomas graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick57 Rnd2 Germie Bernard
They paid up for Germie Bernard at pick No. 57 when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
