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

The Saints' one glaring miss is wide receiver, a need they left exactly as they found it.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In pick No. 14 they get a problem off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick136 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at slot 136 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick152 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
Good price on Theo Johnson in pick 152, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick170 Rnd5 Justin Walley
They paid sticker price for Justin Walley in Round 5, Pick 34, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick176 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at No. 176 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick192 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Michael Barrett. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick203 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
A straight-up fair deal on Roger Rosengarten at the 203rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
