Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Saints for McGlothern: B.

The Saints did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Dwight McGlothern fell into the 209th pick. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

Every board in the league had Milton III lower, and that gap is the story. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the 14th pick they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Good price on Chris Braswell in slot 45, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick128 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson at pick No. 128 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in the 169th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick174 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They reached into another round for Joe Milton III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick192 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
The board had cheaper options than Drake Nugent at No. 192, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick209 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at Round 6, Pick 34 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick230 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Edefuan Ulofoshio. It adds depth where they could use a little.
