Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
Ulofoshio should have been long gone. The Saints pounced, and earned a B.

When a board-topper like Edefuan Ulofoshio slides to pick 175, you do not overthink it, and the Saints did not.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Every board in the league had Jackson lower, and that gap is the story.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick No. 14 they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kamren Kinchens at the 50th pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick97 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at slot 97 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick136 Rnd4 Johnny Dixon
Johnny Dixon slid further than he should have, and the 136th overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick152 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Keith Randolph Jr. at Round 5, Pick 16 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick170 Rnd5 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick175 Rnd5 Edefuan Ulofoshio
You do not let a linebacker like Edefuan Ulofoshio reach No. 175 and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick176 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
No edge and no loss on Jaylan Ford in pick 176; it is a wash and a sensible one. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson at slot 197 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick209 Rnd6 AJ Barner
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing AJ Barner in the 209th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick252 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tatum Bethune. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
