Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Saints: B.

The war room fell hard for Tyler Baron, and it showed at pick 131: 26 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Getting Grant where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The trade work was a quiet net positive. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In slot 23 they get a seam-stretching tight end. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
They robbed the room for Kenneth Grant here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick45 Rnd2 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at the Round 2 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick54 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at pick No. 54 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jayden Higgins in Round 3, Pick 7. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in the 87th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at No. 93 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick112 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
They paid sticker price for Denzel Burke in pick No. 112, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick117 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at the 117th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron at the 131st pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
