Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureF
Nobody dealt better than the Saints this weekend: B-.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Saints, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

They are betting Milton III proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The McCaffrey pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

The Saints clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the 16th overall pick they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They took Chris Braswell at par in No. 42, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick47 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
They went early on Xavier Worthy in the Round 2 slot, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
They paid sticker price for Kingsley Suamataia in pick 58, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick86 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum in slot 86 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick107 Rnd4 Maason Smith
No edge and no loss on Maason Smith in pick No. 107; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick110 Rnd4 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at the 110th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick167 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at Round 5, Pick 31 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick168 Rnd5 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in the 168th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick170 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Joe Milton III this early at the Round 5 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick199 Rnd6 Erick All
No drama and no debate, Erick All went about where he belonged in No. 199. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick239 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Fair-plus on Michael Barrett, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
