Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureC+
The Saints cashed the board's mistake on Wallace: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Caedan Wallace got past him. The Saints do not have to explain a thing at the Round 6 slot.

The cost of the Prince reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick 20 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick46 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in No. 46 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick51 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
By-the-book stuff, Javon Bullard at slot 51 squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick93 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
A reach for Matt Goncalves in Round 3, Pick 30; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jarrian Jones
No edge and no loss on Jarrian Jones in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in the 150th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick190 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Caedan Wallace in the 190th overall pick, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
They went early on Jaden Crumedy in pick No. 199, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick239 Rnd7 Deantre Prince
Deantre Prince at the 239th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
