Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesC FutureB+
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Saints.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Saints walked out of the weekend still thin at cornerback, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons.

If Jones Jr. pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. On value alone, Milroe makes the weekend a net positive.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Emery Jones Jr.
In pick 11 they get a cornerstone up front, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at Round 2, Pick 8 is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Donovan Jackson at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick113 Rnd4 DeMonte Capehart
They reached into another round for DeMonte Capehart, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick149 Rnd5 David Bailey
David Bailey in the 149th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick251 Rnd7 Will Sheppard
Will Sheppard at No. 251 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
