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

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Saints shredded theirs for Cobee Bryant. He came off 45 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hampton.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick No. 9 they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Omarion Hampton in pick 40. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick51 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Harold Fannin Jr.. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick71 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A tidy little value on Deone Walker in Round 3, Pick 7, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
No edge and no loss on Jalen Milroe in the 93rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
A clean, defensible pick in slot 111 with a little surplus value in Jared Wilson. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
They reached into another round for Cobee Bryant, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick254 Rnd7 Andrew Armstrong
Andrew Armstrong in the 254th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
