Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Saints fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Saints, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. The Cephus reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Xavier Legette
In the 19th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside, reach and all. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
A straight-up fair deal on Kris Jenkins at the 45th pick, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick51 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
No edge and no loss on Patrick Paul in Round 2, Pick 19; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick136 Rnd4 Austin Booker
They reached a country mile for Austin Booker at pick 136, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick152 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick170 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
They paid up for Michael Barrett at slot 170 when waiting would have done the job. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick176 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
They took Isaiah Davis at par in pick No. 176, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley at No. 192 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick205 Rnd6 Joshua Cephus
A wild overpay on Joshua Cephus in pick 205, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
