Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints cashed the board's mistake on Milroe: B-.

The Saints' one glaring miss is cornerback, a need they left exactly as they found it.

They banked enough surplus on Milroe to cover a lot of smaller sins. The cost of the Webb reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In pick No. 9 they get a double-digit-sack hope, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon in the Round 2 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick71 Rnd3 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at No. 71 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick93 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman slipping to the 93rd pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe in pick 112 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 131st overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick184 Rnd6 Clay Webb
A conviction pick on Clay Webb at the 184th pick that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
