Draft Grade — Saints
Overall
B+
ValueB-
NeedB+
TradesA+
FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Saints a B+. Whoever sat across the table from the Saints should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.
Ford has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The Sainristil value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.
Larry Ogunjobi gives the group a proven body among the projects. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Troy Fautanu
In pick No. 20 they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick48
Rnd2
Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at slot 48 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick88
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
A quiet steal in No. 88: Mike Sainristil for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91
Rnd3
Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick97
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
They went early on Zak Zinter in the 97th pick, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick119
Rnd4
Michael Pratt
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Michael Pratt well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick150
Rnd5
Dylan Laube
A straight-up fair deal on Dylan Laube at the 150th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick168
Rnd5
AJ Barner
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on AJ Barner. It fills a real need, too.
Pick170
Rnd5
Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson at the 170th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick175
Rnd5
Grayson Murphy
They paid sticker price for Grayson Murphy in No. 175, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick178
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at Round 6, Pick 3 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick190
Rnd6
Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson at slot 190 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick199
Rnd6
Steele Chambers
They took Steele Chambers at par in the 199th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick239
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Frank Gore Jr. at pick 239 is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
