Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Saints won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Saints spent the 114th pick on Ty Robinson, a name most had 57 spots down the list.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a centerpiece for the ground game at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick17 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In slot 17 they get a No. 1 receiver. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
This one needs a full-page explanation: Donovan Ezeiruaku in No. 40, miles early. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick68 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
The board had Alfred Collins higher than the 68th overall pick, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
They went early on Tez Johnson in pick 76, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick93 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
No drama and no debate, Malachi Moore went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 29. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick107 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at the Round 4 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick111 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They left a pile of value on the table to take Antwaun Powell-Ryland this early at slot 111. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick114 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at the 114th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick115 Rnd4 Cody Simon
A big swing on Cody Simon at pick No. 115, well ahead of any board in the building. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick138 Rnd4 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten at pick 138 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick139 Rnd4 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in No. 139 is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
