Somebody took the Saints to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. Little went right, and the F does not pretend otherwise.

Jayden Daniels gives the offense a face and a plan, and the grade leans heavily on whether he hits. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Simpson. They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

There is no soft landing here; this class has to massively overperform just to matter.
