Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Saints a B.

The Saints bet big and early on Vincent Anthony Jr., 56 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

On value alone, Daniels makes the weekend a net positive. That offensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
Jeremiyah Love at No. 8 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick42 Rnd2 Christen Miller
They did well to land Christen Miller in Round 2, Pick 10, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick73 Rnd3 Mikail Kamara
A wild overpay on Mikail Kamara in pick 73, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick136 Rnd4 Vincent Anthony Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Vincent Anthony Jr.. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick148 Rnd5 CJ Daniels
The board fumbled CJ Daniels all the way to the Round 5 slot, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Xavier Nwankpa
They jumped the gun on Xavier Nwankpa, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick188 Rnd6 Jadon Canady
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jadon Canady well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
