Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedA TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Saints, and a B to prove it.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Saints did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to cornerback, which was the need that mattered most. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

They will need Mbow to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
James Pearce Jr. in pick 9 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
They paid up for Marcus Mbow at No. 40 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
