Draft Grade — Saints
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The Saints left with their quarterback, and a C+ to match.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Saints committed. Ty Simpson is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Smith falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. With edge rusher and tight end unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In the end, one you will need a couple of seasons to truly judge.

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Ty Simpson
In the Round 1 slot they get a franchise quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick31 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In pick 31 they get the heartbeat of the defense at a price that makes it sweeter. Need was not the driver here.
Pick35 Rnd2 Christen Miller
Christen Miller is a better player than slot 35 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick41 Rnd2 Caleb Lomu
Caleb Lomu in Round 2, Pick 9 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick66 Rnd3 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette at pick No. 66 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick75 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Deontae Lawson in the 75th pick leaves edge rusher and tight end for later.
Pick135 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Bryce Lance in No. 135. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick143 Rnd5 Demond Claiborne
A quiet steal in the 143rd overall pick: Demond Claiborne for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
Pick183 Rnd6 Isaac Smith
They barely believed it either: Isaac Smith still on the board at pick No. 183. It adds depth where they could use a little.
