Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA FutureB+
A solid, sensible weekend for the Saints: B+.

The Fentrell Cypress II pick is the one that will follow the Saints into the fall. They took him 21 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. No fireworks, but a solid B+.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Christian Harris gives the group a proven body among the projects. However the rest shakes out, Robinson at that price is a win they earned.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
Good price on Rome Odunze in pick No. 14, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick45 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
The board had cheaper options than Patrick Paul at Round 2, Pick 13, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen slipping to the 152nd pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
A quiet steal in No. 170: Darius Robinson for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick176 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in the 176th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick209 Rnd6 Fentrell Cypress II
Value said wait; Fentrell Cypress II in the 209th pick says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
