Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueC NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the Round 6 slot: the Saints steal Martinez and grade out a B-.

Call it larceny. Damien Martinez sat on the board until pick 184, and the Saints did not need to be asked twice. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The Scourton pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Nic Scourton
In the 9th overall pick they get a problem off the edge, a steep price for the projection. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
They liked JT Tuimoloau enough to skip the value, taking him in the 40th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick71 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
By-the-book stuff, Tate Ratledge at pick 71 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick93 Rnd3 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro at No. 93 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Fair-plus on Jordan Phillips, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Sai'vion Jones
They went early on Sai'vion Jones in slot 131, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick184 Rnd6 Damien Martinez
Damien Martinez in pick No. 184 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick248 Rnd7 Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks at the Round 7 slot is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick254 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
No edge and no loss on Cody Lindenberg in the 254th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
