Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints left with their quarterback, and a B to match.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Shedeur Sanders is the Saints' quarterback, full stop. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Grant pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In pick No. 9 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Somehow Kenneth Grant was still sitting there in No. 40, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick71 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
A straight-up fair deal on Mason Taylor at pick 71, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch at the 93rd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
