Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints cashed the board's mistake on Hunter: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Lee Hunter at the 73rd overall pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They are betting Moore proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Peter Woods
Peter Woods in No. 8 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick42 Rnd2 Derrick Moore
They left a pile of value on the table to take Derrick Moore this early at the Round 2 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick73 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter in pick 73 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jalon Kilgore
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jalon Kilgore in slot 132. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jakobe Thomas
Jakobe Thomas in the 136th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick150 Rnd5 Drew Allar
No edge and no loss on Drew Allar in pick No. 150; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick172 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol at the 172nd pick is money in the bank, a tight end taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick190 Rnd6 Josh Cameron
Josh Cameron slipping to Round 6, Pick 9 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
