Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureA+
The Saints checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Saints put a flag in the ground for Zane Durant, 57 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. With quarterback and tight end unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Caleb Banks
In pick No. 28 they get a disruptor off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick47 Rnd2 Sonny Styles
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Sonny Styles at slot 47 is the proof. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick59 Rnd2 Gabe Jacas
Gabe Jacas at pick 59 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jadarian Price
Jadarian Price at the Round 3 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick106 Rnd4 Zane Durant
Zane Durant at the 106th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick113 Rnd4 Tacario Davis
No edge and no loss on Tacario Davis in the 113th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick132 Rnd4 Ted Hurst
A conviction pick on Ted Hurst at No. 132 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick136 Rnd4 Red Murdock
A curious use of the 136th pick. Quarterback and tight end needed the pick; a linebacker in Red Murdock did not.
Pick148 Rnd5 Trey Moore
They reached a country mile for Trey Moore at slot 148, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick165 Rnd5 DJ Campbell
They did well to land DJ Campbell in the 165th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
They took Pat Coogan at par in pick No. 170, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick188 Rnd6 Isaiah Jatta
They paid up for Isaiah Jatta at Round 6, Pick 9 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
