Draft Grade — Saints
Overall
D+
ValueB
NeedA-
TradesF
FutureB-
The Saints bled value on every deal, hence the D+. Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Saints, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis

Cooper DeJean
In the 22nd overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
