Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints won the night they stopped Jackson from sliding. Grade: B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Saints watched Domani Jackson slide 20 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Mesidor has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In pick No. 8 they get a rangy last line of defense. Need was not the driver here.
Pick42 Rnd2 Akheem Mesidor
A reach for Akheem Mesidor in Round 2, Pick 10; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
A slide stopped in pick 73, with Lee Hunter worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick132 Rnd4 Cade Klubnik
A tidy little value on Cade Klubnik in slot 132, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick136 Rnd4 Logan Jones
Nothing to complain about; Logan Jones went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Eric Rivers
Eric Rivers at the Round 5 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick170 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
You do not let a cornerback like Domani Jackson reach the 170th overall pick and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jaydn Ott
Jaydn Ott in No. 188 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
