Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints let Simpson fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Somebody in the Round 5 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Saints sat still while Jaylin Simpson, the No. 153 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Lee reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Joe Alt
In No. 2 they get a cornerstone up front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at pick No. 34 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick150 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A quiet steal in slot 150: Kitan Oladapo for less than the market said. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick170 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
A tidy bit of business in Round 5, Pick 34, where Marist Liufau graded well above the range. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson in the 175th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick199 Rnd6 Isaiah Williams
Isaiah Williams slipping to pick 199 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick239 Rnd7 Matt Lee
Matt Lee in the 239th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
