Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Saints: B-.

There is a lot to like until you notice cornerback is still a hole. The Saints never got to the one that mattered most.

Chambliss falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Reaching for Howell left real value on the table behind him.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Cashius Howell
In pick No. 8 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42 Rnd2 Zion Young
Zion Young at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick73 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
A conviction pick on Darrell Jackson Jr. at Round 3, Pick 9 that the board grades a round light. It fills a real need, too.
Pick132 Rnd4 Trinidad Chambliss
Value with a capital V on Trinidad Chambliss in pick 132, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick136 Rnd4 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels slipping to the 136th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tanner Koziol in the 148th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jaydn Ott
They did well to land Jaydn Ott in No. 170, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick188 Rnd6 Isaiah Nwokobia
Isaiah Nwokobia at slot 188 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A minor itch, scratched.
