Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB+
The Saints worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The Saints did not so much draft Vincent Anthony Jr. as overpay for him, 38 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Peter Woods
In the 12th overall pick they get juice off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick42 Rnd2 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt in pick No. 42 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick112 Rnd4 Trinidad Chambliss
They took Trinidad Chambliss at par in the 112th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick132 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
They paid sticker price for DeMonte Capehart in No. 132, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick136 Rnd4 Vincent Anthony Jr.
A wild overpay on Vincent Anthony Jr. in the Round 4 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148 Rnd5 Terion Stewart
They paid a round early for Terion Stewart in pick 148, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick150 Rnd5 Trey Moore
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trey Moore this early at the Round 5 slot. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Lander Barton
No edge and no loss on Lander Barton in the 170th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick188 Rnd6 Kalil Alexander
Kalil Alexander at the 188th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick228 Rnd7 Dominic Zvada
No drama and no debate, Dominic Zvada went about where he belonged in slot 228. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
