Draft Grade — Saints
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Saints bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Saints, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. The process wobbled, and the D- is where it lands.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Thomas reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, cornerback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In pick 14 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in Round 2, Pick 13 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick89 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They paid sticker price for Zak Zinter in slot 89, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick136 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at the 136th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick152 Rnd5 Nathan Thomas
Value said wait; Nathan Thomas in the Round 5 slot says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick170 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
They took Roger Rosengarten at par in the 170th pick, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
