Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
The Saints checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Frank Crum at the 239th overall pick is 54 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The Brade pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick 14 they get protection for the quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick61 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cooper Beebe in Round 2, Pick 29. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jermaine Burton
The board had Jermaine Burton higher than the 73rd pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick150 Rnd5 James Williams
They robbed the room for James Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick168 Rnd5 Beau Brade
Somehow Beau Brade was still sitting there in pick No. 168, and they pounced on premier safety value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick170 Rnd5 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at No. 170 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick175 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor at the 175th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick190 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
Tip Reiman at pick No. 190 is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick199 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
They will replay Kamal Hadden at No. 199 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick239 Rnd7 Frank Crum
Frank Crum at Round 7, Pick 19 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
