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

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Saints took Alijah Huzzie at pick No. 184, roughly 32 spots before his name belonged.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They took Tyler Booker at par in pick No. 40, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick71 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Omarr Norman-Lott in the 71st overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick93 Rnd3 David Walker
A reach on David Walker in pick 93; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A tidy bit of business in the 112th pick, where Kevin Winston Jr. graded well above the range. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick131 Rnd4 Riley Leonard
No drama and no debate, Riley Leonard went about where he belonged in slot 131. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick184 Rnd6 Alijah Huzzie
Alijah Huzzie at Round 6, Pick 8 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
Nothing to complain about; Cam Horsley went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick254 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
A tidy little value on Teddye Buchanan in slot 254, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
