Draft Grade — Saints
Overall D+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB
The Saints lost the trade table, and the D+ tells the story.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Charles Turner III at the Round 7 slot, a reach of 39 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. Too much went sideways, and the D+ is the honest tally.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.

They banked enough surplus on Hadden to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and running back is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the 22nd pick they get a blindside protector at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
No edge and no loss on Xavier Worthy in slot 49; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick50 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
They paid sticker price for Kris Jenkins in the 50th overall pick, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick76 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil in pick 76 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111 Rnd4 Maason Smith
Maason Smith in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick136 Rnd4 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at pick No. 136 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick150 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
No drama and no debate, Luke McCaffrey went about where he belonged in pick 150. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick171 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in pick No. 171 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
They jumped the gun on Jaylan Ford, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick199 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden in No. 199 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Evan Williams
Evan Williams in the 239th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick257 Rnd7 Charles Turner III
Value said wait; Charles Turner III in the 257th pick says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
