Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Saints for Rodriguez: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jacob Rodriguez, the No. 162 name on the board, stolen at the 181st pick. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. The cost of the Keenan III reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Keldric Faulk
In the 2nd pick they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 John Mateer
John Mateer at the 35th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick66 Rnd3 Nyck Harbor
A clean, defensible pick in No. 66 with a little surplus value in Nyck Harbor. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick131 Rnd4 Chase Bisontis
A reasonable price with a little left over, Chase Bisontis in Round 4, Pick 31. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick137 Rnd4 Jadarian Price
They paid sticker price for Jadarian Price in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick142 Rnd5 Tim Keenan III
Tim Keenan III at pick No. 142 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick171 Rnd5 Aaron Anderson
By-the-book stuff, Aaron Anderson at pick 171 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jacob Rodriguez
Somehow Jacob Rodriguez was still sitting there in slot 181, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
