Draft Grade — Saints
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureB-
The Saints landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

The war room fell hard for Ted Hurst, and it showed at No. 132: 44 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Casey pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Gennings Dunker
In pick 16 they get a building block for the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
A reach on Olaivavega Ioane in Round 2, Pick 1; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick73 Rnd3 Emmett Johnson
They reached into another round for Emmett Johnson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132 Rnd4 Ted Hurst
Value said wait; Ted Hurst in No. 132 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick148 Rnd5 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg slipping to pick No. 148 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick170 Rnd5 Iapani Laloulu
Value with a capital V on Iapani Laloulu in the 170th pick, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick175 Rnd5 Kevin Coleman Jr.
Kevin Coleman Jr. in pick 175 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick178 Rnd5 Kage Casey
Kage Casey is a better player than Round 5, Pick 40 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick190 Rnd6 Kobe Baynes
They paid a round early for Kobe Baynes in the 190th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
