Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints kept it disciplined and banked a B.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Luke Kandra, 21 picks early at slot 93. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They banked enough surplus on Collins to cover a lot of smaller sins. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Josh Simmons
A premium they did not need to pay, Josh Simmons a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
Nothing to complain about; Jack Sawyer went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick71 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Value with a capital V on Alfred Collins in the Round 3 slot, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick93 Rnd3 Luke Kandra
A big swing on Luke Kandra at pick No. 93, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
