Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesC FutureA-
The Saints left with their quarterback, and a B to match.

The search is over. The Saints handed the keys to Garrett Nussmeier, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

The cost of the Payton reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The Moore value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick5 Rnd1 Garrett Nussmeier
In the 5th overall pick they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Deontae Lawson
Taking Deontae Lawson in slot 41 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick109 Rnd4 Logan Jones
Logan Jones is a better player than the 109th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick112 Rnd4 Monroe Freeling
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 112 with a little surplus value in Monroe Freeling. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick138 Rnd4 Patrick Payton
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Patrick Payton. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick144 Rnd5 Lander Barton
They jumped the gun on Lander Barton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick148 Rnd5 Terry Moore
Terry Moore at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick183 Rnd6 Princewill Umanmielen
Princewill Umanmielen at pick 183 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
