Draft Grade — Saints
Overall D-
ValueC NeedA- TradesF FutureB
The Saints lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

The Saints lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. Too much went sideways, and the D- is the honest tally.

They will need Braswell to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Clark falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In slot 14 they get a potential shutdown corner, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick29 Rnd1 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at No. 29 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick45 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in the 45th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
No drama and no debate, Theo Johnson went about where he belonged in pick No. 149. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick167 Rnd5 Renardo Green
A quiet steal in pick 167: Renardo Green for less than the market said. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick169 Rnd5 Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson at the 169th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick174 Rnd5 Cody Schrader
Cody Schrader at Round 5, Pick 38 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jaylan Ford at the Round 6 slot is the proof. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick201 Rnd6 Tyrone Tracy Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Tyrone Tracy Jr. at Round 6, Pick 26, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick230 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
Quietly one of the better values of the day, De'Corian Clark at slot 230. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
