Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Saints worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Saints reached some 50 spots for Dante Trader Jr., and value like that does not grow back. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

That Briningstool pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick74 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
You do not let a tight end like Harold Fannin Jr. reach the 74th pick and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick80 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
They barely believed it either: Jihaad Campbell still on the board at the Round 3 slot. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick86 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Omarr Norman-Lott at Round 3, Pick 22 is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
Pick88 Rnd3 Azareye'h Thomas
A reach on Azareye'h Thomas in pick No. 88; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro in the 111th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts in No. 125 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick185 Rnd6 Kyle McCord
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kyle McCord. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick253 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
A tight end of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 39 is the definition of value, full stop. It fills a real need, too.
Pick255 Rnd7 Dante Trader Jr.
They reached into another round for Dante Trader Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
