Draft Grade — Saints
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureB
Quarterback settled, Daniels in the fold, and a D+ for the Saints.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Saints, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. The process wobbled, and the D+ is where it lands.

They have staked the next five years on Jayden Daniels, which is the only story that really matters here. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The Cohen steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 9th pick they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick70 Rnd3 Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in No. 70 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick131 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
They read the board right and Javion Cohen was the payoff at pick No. 131. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
