Draft Grade — Saints
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Saints cashed the board's mistake on Mendoza: A-.

The Saints did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Fernando Mendoza fell into Round 4, Pick 36. The board rewarded a patient, disciplined weekend with a A-.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through offensive lineman.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Anthony Hill Jr.
In the 16th pick they get a three-down second-level presence at fair value.
Pick37 Rnd2 Peter Woods
Somehow Peter Woods was still sitting there in the 37th overall pick, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Sam Leavitt
Sam Leavitt at slot 40 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kamari Ramsey
A tidy little value on Kamari Ramsey in No. 58, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick69 Rnd3 Elijah Sarratt
Elijah Sarratt is a better player than pick 69 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Kenyon Sadiq
Kenyon Sadiq at Round 3, Pick 26 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick105 Rnd4 Domani Jackson
By-the-book stuff, Domani Jackson at the Round 4 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick138 Rnd4 Fernando Mendoza
Steal is underselling it; Fernando Mendoza at pick No. 138 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick144 Rnd5 Samuel Omosigho
Samuel Omosigho at slot 144 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jaishawn Barham
The board had cheaper options than Jaishawn Barham at pick No. 183, and it noticed. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
