Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Saints: B-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Braden Fiske at No. 45 is 38 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom. A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In slot 14 they get juice off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Braden Fiske well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick136 Rnd4 Cam Hart
A straight-up fair deal on Cam Hart at pick No. 136, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick140 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
No drama and no debate, Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick143 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at Round 5, Pick 7 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick185 Rnd6 Emani Bailey
Emani Bailey in the 185th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick200 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at No. 200 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
