Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints found their guy under center in Ward: B.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Tyreak Sapp, 137 picks early at No. 128. No fireworks, but a solid B.

Skattebo at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Cam Ward is the bet, and the class will be judged on how it pays off.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Cam Ward
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 10 with a little surplus value in Cam Ward. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
A quiet steal in No. 42: Tate Ratledge for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick74 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Taking Tyler Warren in the 74th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick90 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in pick 90 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick111 Rnd4 Tory Horton
Tory Horton is a better player than slot 111 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tyreak Sapp
They reached into another round for Tyreak Sapp, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick185 Rnd6 Sonny Styles
Steal is underselling it; Sonny Styles at pick No. 185 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick253 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
They robbed the room for Cam Skattebo here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
