Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Saints did not so much draft Keylan Rutledge as overpay for him, 57 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In the 8th overall pick they get a workhorse for the backfield. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Germie Bernard
They liked Germie Bernard enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 42. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick73 Rnd3 Keylan Rutledge
Keylan Rutledge in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Skyler Gill-Howard
They paid sticker price for Skyler Gill-Howard in pick No. 132, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick137 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
They paid up for Davison Igbinosun at slot 137 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149 Rnd5 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in pick 149 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick171 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp in slot 171 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick189 Rnd6 Eric O'Neill
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Eric O'Neill well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
