Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Saints robbed the room for Vidal. Final grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kimani Vidal, the Round 6 slot, roughly 21 picks past where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 JC Latham
In No. 19 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
No edge and no loss on J.J. McCarthy in the 45th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jonah Elliss
Nothing to complain about; Jonah Elliss went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick136 Rnd4 Kamal Hadden
Good price on Kamal Hadden in Round 4, Pick 36, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick152 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Nice patience on Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint, who had no business lasting to the 152nd pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo slid further than he should have, and pick 170 is lovely value for the safety. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick176 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at slot 176 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick192 Rnd6 AJ Barner
AJ Barner in pick No. 192 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick205 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
The board fumbled Kimani Vidal all the way to slot 205, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
