Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints won the night they stopped Rosemy-Jacksaint from sliding. Grade: B-.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Saints were there to profit. Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint, the No. 195 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 239.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

The phones were busy but the ledger stayed level.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the 14th overall pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
By-the-book stuff, T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 45 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in slot 123 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick150 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
They paid sticker price for Luke McCaffrey in pick 150, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick168 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
They let Tykee Smith come to them and pounced at the 168th pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick190 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Dwight McGlothern in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in Round 6, Pick 24 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick239 Rnd7 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Taking Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in No. 239 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
