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

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Saints spent the 108th pick on Mike Matthews, a name most had 21 spots down the list. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Carter Smith
In pick No. 10 they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Will Heldt
They liked Will Heldt enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 41. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick72 Rnd3 Jamari Sharpe
A reach on Jamari Sharpe in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick108 Rnd4 Mike Matthews
A real head-scratcher, Mike Matthews in Round 4, Pick 7 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick143 Rnd5 J'Koby Williams
A reach for J'Koby Williams in pick 143; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
