Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 123rd pick: the Saints steal James and grade out a B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Jordan James slide, and the Saints were the ones holding the card at No. 123. Highway robbery. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The cost of the Stewart reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In slot 10 they get a run-stuffing presence up front at fair value.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tyler Booker in pick 42. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick74 Rnd3 Evan Stewart
A big swing on Evan Stewart at Round 3, Pick 10, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick87 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Andrew Mukuba in No. 87. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick111 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
The board fumbled Barrett Carter all the way to pick No. 111, and they scooped it up. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jordan James
Jordan James at the 123rd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick185 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the 185th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick253 Rnd7 Logan Parr
Logan Parr in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
