Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Saints torched the value chart for Kyren Lacy, taking him 34 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Landing Walker that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick No. 9 they get a three-down runner. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker slid further than he should have, and No. 40 is lovely value for the linebacker. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick71 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Alfred Collins at slot 71 is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at the 93rd pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It fills a real need, too.
Pick112 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. at Round 4, Pick 10 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick131 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
A tidy little value on Cobee Bryant in the 131st overall pick, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the 184th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick248 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
LaJohntay Wester in the 248th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick254 Rnd7 Kyren Lacy
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kyren Lacy well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
