Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Saints: B-.

Everything else got attention, and cornerback got none. That is a strange way for the Saints to leave a draft. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Brooks reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The Wiley pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
They liked Jonathon Brooks enough to skip the value, taking him in the 45th overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick136 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at the 136th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick152 Rnd5 Austin Booker
Austin Booker at slot 152 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs in No. 170 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick176 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at pick No. 176 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
A straight-up fair deal on Jaylen Harrell at pick 192, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
A tidy bit of business in Round 6, Pick 30, where Jared Wiley graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
