Draft Grade — Saints
Overall D+
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureA+
The phones sank the Saints this weekend: D+.

You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Saints did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D+ is the result.

They will need Rodriguez to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The Stowers steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In pick No. 16 they get a lead back with juice, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Kayden McDonald
Kayden McDonald in pick 35 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick47 Rnd2 Olaivavega Ioane
Olaivavega Ioane in the 47th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick62 Rnd2 Nyck Harbor
Nyck Harbor at Round 2, Pick 30 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick69 Rnd3 Colton Hood
Colton Hood at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick91 Rnd3 Sam Leavitt
Value with a capital V on Sam Leavitt in the 91st pick, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick93 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
A slide stopped in No. 93, with Eli Stowers worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick95 Rnd3 Keith Abney II
Keith Abney II slid further than he should have, and slot 95 is lovely value for the cornerback. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick100 Rnd3 Omar Cooper Jr.
A tidy little value on Omar Cooper Jr. in slot 100, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick116 Rnd4 Boubacar Traore
Boubacar Traore at pick No. 116 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick137 Rnd4 Bray Hubbard
No edge and no loss on Bray Hubbard in No. 137; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick139 Rnd4 Jacob Rodriguez
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jacob Rodriguez. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick143 Rnd5 Logan Jones
By-the-book stuff, Logan Jones at Round 5, Pick 3 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick168 Rnd5 Zane Durant
They went early on Zane Durant in the 168th overall pick, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick183 Rnd6 Rayshaun Benny
Rayshaun Benny at the Round 6 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick230 Rnd7 Amare Campbell
They took Amare Campbell at par in pick 230, which is nothing to complain about. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
