Draft Grade — Saints
Overall D
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Saints bled value on every deal, hence the D.

The Saints bet big and early on Hykeem Williams, 31 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It grades a D, and the process earned it.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The Green pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In pick 8 they get a bell-cow for the offense. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
They robbed the room for Sonny Styles here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at the Round 3 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick132 Rnd4 Gracen Halton
A straight-up fair deal on Gracen Halton at Round 4, Pick 32, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick136 Rnd4 Deion Burks
They barely believed it either: Deion Burks still on the board at slot 136. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick148 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
A tidy little value on Beau Stephens in pick No. 148, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick174 Rnd5 Louis Moore
Louis Moore at No. 174 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick183 Rnd6 Kaleb Proctor
Value with a capital V on Kaleb Proctor in pick 183, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick205 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
The board had Pat Coogan higher than pick No. 205, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick211 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Taking Taylen Green in slot 211 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick232 Rnd7 Eli Heidenreich
They liked Eli Heidenreich enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 7, Pick 16. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick250 Rnd7 De'Zhaun Stribling
De'Zhaun Stribling in the 250th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick256 Rnd7 Hykeem Williams
Hykeem Williams at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
