Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Saints.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Saints started one anyway for Oronde Gadsden II, 50 picks ahead of schedule.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Egbuka steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a featured back. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
They let Emeka Egbuka come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 8. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick71 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 71, where Alfred Collins graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick93 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at the 93rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick111 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
A tidy little value on Malachi Moore in slot 111, a step better than break-even. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick130 Rnd4 Oronde Gadsden II
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Oronde Gadsden II. The roster fit checks out.
Pick186 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
They read the board right and Cobee Bryant was the payoff at the Round 6 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick254 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
Marcus Yarns slipping to Round 7, Pick 36 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
