Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesB FutureA+
The Saints did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B+.

The Saints bet big and early on Omar Brown, 29 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

The Pritchett pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick No. 31 they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
By-the-book stuff, Cooper Beebe at Round 2, Pick 17 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick88 Rnd3 Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They paid sticker price for Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in the 88th overall pick, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick168 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
They will replay Nehemiah Pritchett at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick170 Rnd5 Cody Schrader
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cody Schrader. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick175 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They reached into another round for Joe Milton III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick190 Rnd6 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers in pick No. 190 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick202 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at Round 6, Pick 27 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick239 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas slid further than he should have, and slot 239 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick255 Rnd7 Omar Brown
A big swing on Omar Brown at No. 255, well ahead of any board in the building. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
