Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B

More right than wrong for the Saints, and a B to prove it.

The Antwaun Powell-Ryland pick is the one that will follow the Saints into the fall. They took him 50 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. Walker falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick No. 9 they get a centerpiece for the ground game. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
The board fumbled Jalon Walker all the way to the 40th pick, and they scooped it up. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick71 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
A slide stopped in Round 3, Pick 7, with Alfred Collins worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick93 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in pick 93 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick111 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They talked themselves into Antwaun Powell-Ryland at slot 111, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick138 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
A reach on Pat Bryant in No. 138; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139 Rnd4 Oronde Gadsden II
By-the-book stuff, Oronde Gadsden II at pick 139 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
