Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Saints and Grant: B.

Call it larceny. Kenneth Grant sat on the board until No. 40, and the Saints did not need to be asked twice.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Leonard pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at slot 40 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick71 Rnd3 Kyle Kennard
By-the-book stuff, Kyle Kennard at the 71st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick93 Rnd3 Riley Leonard
Riley Leonard in No. 93 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
