Draft Grade — Saints
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Stutsman should have been long gone. The Saints pounced, and earned a D.

The Saints clearly saw something nobody else did in Logan Brown, taking him 47 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Put together, it is a D.

The Stutsman value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In No. 9 they get a centerpiece for the ground game. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
They let Emeka Egbuka come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick55 Rnd2 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at Round 2, Pick 23 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick56 Rnd2 Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey at slot 56 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick57 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. at slot 57 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick93 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Steal is underselling it; Andrew Mukuba at the 93rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick98 Rnd3 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at pick No. 98 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Logan Brown
Logan Brown at the Round 4 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick114 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cam Skattebo at the 114th pick is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick121 Rnd4 Mello Dotson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Mello Dotson in No. 121, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick152 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 152 is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick153 Rnd5 Cody Simon
They read the board right and Cody Simon was the payoff at Round 5, Pick 16. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick197 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
The board fumbled Oronde Gadsden II all the way to pick 197, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick208 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Miles Frazier. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick229 Rnd7 Maxen Hook
They jumped the gun on Maxen Hook, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick235 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
