Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Saints a B-.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Saints shredded theirs for Oluwafemi Oladejo. He came off 121 spots early, and the room will hear about it. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Landing Monangai that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka slid further than he should have, and Round 2, Pick 8 is lovely value for the wide receiver. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick71 Rnd3 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in pick 71 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick93 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at pick No. 93 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick111 Rnd4 Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at slot 111 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel in No. 130 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick186 Rnd6 Ben Yurosek
They left a pile of value on the table to take Ben Yurosek this early at the 186th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick254 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Kyle Monangai in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
