Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Mafah should have been long gone. The Saints pounced, and earned a B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Phil Mafah at pick No. 248 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Frazier has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In slot 9 they get a bendy edge with upside, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders in pick 40 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey at the 71st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Miles Frazier
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Miles Frazier well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson in No. 112 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick131 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
A tidy little value on Cobee Bryant in pick No. 131, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in Round 6, Pick 8 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick248 Rnd7 Phil Mafah
Taking Phil Mafah in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick254 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at Round 7, Pick 38 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
