Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Saints, and a B- to prove it.

The tape said wait; the Saints did not. Joshua Gray went at pick 93, a good 97 picks before the board was ready.

Milroe at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In the 9th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
The board fumbled Walter Nolen all the way to pick No. 40, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at Round 3, Pick 7 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Joshua Gray
They reached into another round for Joshua Gray, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick112 Rnd4 Kaimon Rucker
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kaimon Rucker in slot 112, miles early. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
They barely believed it either: Jalen Milroe still on the board at pick 131. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick184 Rnd6 Que Robinson
A wild overpay on Que Robinson in slot 184, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
