Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Saints: B-.

The Jordan Hall selection is the head-turner. The Saints reached 69 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. They banked enough surplus on Stowers to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In slot 8 they get a three-down runner at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane at the 42nd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick73 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
Eli Stowers at the 73rd overall pick is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Blake Miller
A slide stopped in Round 4, Pick 32, with Blake Miller worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick137 Rnd4 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Ar'maj Reed-Adams at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jermaine Mathews Jr.
The board had cheaper options than Jermaine Mathews Jr. at No. 149, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick171 Rnd5 Princewill Umanmielen
Princewill Umanmielen at pick 171 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick189 Rnd6 Jordan Hall
Jordan Hall in pick No. 189 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
