Draft Grade — Saints
Overall

TradesF
FutureB-
The Saints lost the trade table, and the D tells the story. The Saints spent real capital to be 95 picks early on Andrew Armstrong, and the board is going to hold them to it.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Getting McMillan where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In No. 9 they get a three-down runner. A real need, handled.
Pick19
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
The board had Tetairoa McMillan higher than slot 19, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71
Rnd3
Jack Bech
Jack Bech at the 71st pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick93
Rnd3
Charles Grant
A reasonable price with a little left over, Charles Grant in the Round 3 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick109
Rnd4
Cody Simon
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cody Simon in pick 109, miles early. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick112
Rnd4
Nohl Williams
They liked Nohl Williams enough to skip the value, taking him in the 112th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick128
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
The board had cheaper options than Malachi Moore at the 128th overall pick, and it noticed. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick131
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They reached a country mile for Antwaun Powell-Ryland at Round 4, Pick 29, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick138
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
They reached into another round for Ty Robinson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick161
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Oronde Gadsden II well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick169
Rnd5
Connor Colby
Connor Colby in the 169th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick205
Rnd6
Andrew Armstrong
Andrew Armstrong at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick220
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
They talked themselves into Teddye Buchanan at pick No. 220, and the board did not agree. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick226
Rnd7
Marcus Yarns
Marcus Yarns at No. 226 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
