Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Saints.

Every other box got a look, but edge rusher did not. The Saints will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Branch. The Johnson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Kadyn Proctor
In slot 8 they get a long-term starter on the line, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick42 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
By-the-book stuff, Olaivavega Ioane at the 42nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick73 Rnd3 Emmett Johnson
Emmett Johnson at No. 73 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick132 Rnd4 Parker Brailsford
Parker Brailsford at the 132nd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick137 Rnd4 Zachariah Branch
A slide stopped in pick 137, with Zachariah Branch worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick148 Rnd5 Ar'maj Reed-Adams
A straight-up fair deal on Ar'maj Reed-Adams at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
They took Tanner Koziol at par in Round 5, Pick 32, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick190 Rnd6 CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels in pick No. 190 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
