Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints let Smith fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Tykee Smith, Round 6, Pick 1, roughly 79 picks past where he belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Every board in the league had Robinson lower, and that gap is the story. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
The board had Marvin Harrison Jr. higher than No. 14, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick45 Rnd2 Dallas Turner
Somehow Dallas Turner was still sitting there in pick 45, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick136 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in Round 4, Pick 36 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick152 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
A conviction pick on Layden Robinson at the 152nd overall pick that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick170 Rnd5 Cam Hart
A cornerback of that caliber at pick No. 170 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick176 Rnd6 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at the 176th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A tidy bit of business in slot 192, where Jaylan Ford graded well above the range. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They took Jared Wiley at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
