Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesA FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Saints for James: B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. DJ James had no business being available in Round 5, Pick 14, and the Saints did the only sane thing and turned in the card. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In pick 14 they get a long-term starter on the line, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick48 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Troy Franklin at the Round 2 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick96 Rnd3 Cade Stover
The board fumbled Cade Stover all the way to No. 96, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick150 Rnd5 DJ James
Somehow DJ James was still sitting there in slot 150, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick168 Rnd5 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea at the 168th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jalyx Hunt
They read the board right and Jalyx Hunt was the payoff at the 170th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at Round 5, Pick 39 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick190 Rnd6 Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers in pick No. 190 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick199 Rnd6 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett at pick 199 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Kendall Milton
They will replay Kendall Milton at No. 239 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
