Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Saints did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

Some picks age like wine; Jalen Milroe at the Round 3 slot will need to, sitting 24 spots clear of his grade.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. That is an interior defensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In the 14th overall pick they get a matchup problem out wide. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Circle this one: Kenneth Grant at Round 2, Pick 8 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick45 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in the Round 2 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
A big swing on Jalen Milroe at pick 71, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo slipping to slot 93 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick112 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in pick No. 112 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick117 Rnd4 Tai Felton
Tai Felton at No. 117 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick131 Rnd4 Kobe King
A tidy little value on Kobe King in pick No. 131, a step better than break-even. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick184 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at slot 184 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick232 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
Bilhal Kone in the 232nd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
A straight-up fair deal on Ty Hamilton at pick 248, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick254 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
