Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesD+ FutureA
The Saints checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Saints torched the value chart for Tyler Batty, taking him 121 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.

They banked enough surplus on Carter to cover a lot of smaller sins. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick 19 they get a go-to option on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Steal is underselling it; Nick Emmanwori at No. 42 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick74 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at the 74th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Kaimon Rucker
Kaimon Rucker in slot 90 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick111 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
They paid sticker price for Luke Kandra in the 111th pick, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick120 Rnd4 Jack Bech
Taking Jack Bech in Round 4, Pick 19 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick128 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Barrett Carter in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick164 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
A safety of that caliber at slot 164 is the definition of value, full stop. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick185 Rnd6 Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty in pick 185 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick253 Rnd7 Joey Slackman
Joey Slackman at the 253rd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
