Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Saints.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Saints walked out of the weekend still thin at quarterback, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Stover. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the 13th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in pick 46 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick136 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the 136th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick150 Rnd5 Cade Stover
A tidy bit of business in No. 150, where Cade Stover graded well above the range. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Tre Harris
Nothing to complain about; Tre Harris went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick176 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
A clean, defensible pick in Round 6, Pick 1 with a little surplus value in Jaylin Simpson. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick191 Rnd6 Brandon Coleman
No edge and no loss on Brandon Coleman in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick204 Rnd6 Steve Linton
By-the-book stuff, Steve Linton at slot 204 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
