Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Saints a B.

Some picks age like wine; Jake Briningstool at Round 6, Pick 8 will need to, sitting 54 spots clear of his grade.

The Amos steal is the beam this whole class leans on. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In slot 9 they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Steal is underselling it; Jalon Walker at the 40th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick71 Rnd3 Trey Amos
Trey Amos at pick No. 71 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick93 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
A reach for Cam Skattebo in Round 3, Pick 29; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
They paid sticker price for Jordan Phillips in No. 111, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jonah Monheim
They jumped the gun on Jonah Monheim, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jake Briningstool
A real head-scratcher, Jake Briningstool in the 186th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick254 Rnd7 Garrett Dellinger
They reached a country mile for Garrett Dellinger at Round 7, Pick 36, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
