Draft Grade — Saints
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureF
Grand theft in pick No. 136: the Saints steal Howell and grade out a C+.

The Saints did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Cashius Howell fell into the 136th overall pick.

The Lane pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Ja'Kobi Lane
In Round 1, Pick 3 they get a home-run threat at receiver, a steep price for the projection. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 R Mason Thomas
A reasonable price with a little left over, R Mason Thomas in No. 34. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick65 Rnd3 Fernando Mendoza
Somehow Fernando Mendoza was still sitting there in the 65th overall pick, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick126 Rnd4 David Bailey
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, David Bailey in pick No. 126, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick136 Rnd4 Cashius Howell
Cashius Howell in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick141 Rnd5 Gabe Jacas
They barely believed it either: Gabe Jacas still on the board at the 141st pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
