Draft Grade — Saints
Overall A
ValueA+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureA
The Saints let Biles fall into their laps, and walked away with a A.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Saints watched Rasheem Biles slide 139 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Just about everything broke right, and the A follows.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In the end it comes back to Matayo Uiagalelei, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick21 Rnd1 Matayo Uiagalelei
In Round 1, Pick 21 they get juice off the edge, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick42 Rnd2 Dante Moore
Somehow Dante Moore was still sitting there in pick 42, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick73 Rnd3 Carter Smith
They barely believed it either: Carter Smith still on the board at No. 73. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75 Rnd3 Will Echoles
The board fumbled Will Echoles all the way to the 75th pick, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick87 Rnd3 Trey'Dez Green
They will replay Trey'Dez Green at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cayden Green
Steal is underselling it; Cayden Green at the 132nd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick136 Rnd4 Justin Scott
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Justin Scott reach pick No. 136 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick148 Rnd5 Teitum Tuioti
Taking Teitum Tuioti in slot 148 is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149 Rnd5 Wyatt Young
Wyatt Young at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick170 Rnd5 Brice Pollock
Circle this one: Brice Pollock at slot 170 is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Rasheem Biles
Rasheem Biles at No. 188 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It adds depth where they could use a little.
