Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureC+
The Saints worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Antwaun Powell-Ryland, 48 picks early at pick No. 101. It does the job without flash, and the B+ reflects it.

The Mullings steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon at No. 41 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in Round 2, Pick 10 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick101 Rnd3 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They reached a country mile for Antwaun Powell-Ryland at pick 101, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at slot 133 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick149 Rnd5 Kalel Mullings
The board fumbled Kalel Mullings all the way to pick No. 149, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick186 Rnd6 Chase Lundt
Steal is underselling it; Chase Lundt at Round 6, Pick 8 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick198 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
A clean, defensible pick in pick 198 with a little surplus value in Luke Lachey. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick254 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
A tidy bit of business in the 254th pick, where Hunter Wohler graded well above the range. A minor need, but a need all the same.
