Draft Grade — Saints
Overall
D+
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesF
FutureA+
The Saints bled value on every deal, hence the D+. There is reaching, and then there is Teddye Buchanan at Round 6, Pick 7. The Saints jumped the board by 43 and dared it to prove them wrong. It grades a D+, and the process earned it.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Johnson.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Grey Zabel
In No. 20 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick31
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In the 31st overall pick they get a pocket-collapsing interior rusher, and a steal at that.
Pick46
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku in Round 2, Pick 14 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick55
Rnd2
Malaki Starks
Steal is underselling it; Malaki Starks at pick 55 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick64
Rnd2
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson slipping to slot 64 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick65
Rnd3
Trey Amos
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Trey Amos in the 65th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66
Rnd3
Jaxson Dart
They let Jaxson Dart come to them and pounced at the 66th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick70
Rnd3
Jack Bech
Jack Bech in the 70th pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick71
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in the Round 3 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick80
Rnd3
Charles Grant
Charles Grant at pick No. 80 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick117
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
A quiet steal in slot 117: Cam Skattebo for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick125
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at No. 125 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick128
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ty Robinson well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick130
Rnd4
Kobe King
A straight-up fair deal on Kobe King at Round 4, Pick 29, value and slot in agreement. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick185
Rnd6
Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at the 185th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
