Draft Grade — Saints
Overall A-

Grand theft in Round 5, Pick 32: the Saints steal Pritchett and grade out a A-.

The real work happened on the phones. The Saints fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

Getting Pritchett where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They are betting Hall proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Taliese Fuaga and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick51 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
They did well to land Kris Jenkins in pick No. 51, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick109 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They jumped the gun on Theo Johnson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick150 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
A straight-up fair deal on Luke McCaffrey at No. 150, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick168 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett in the 168th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kitan Oladapo at slot 170. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick175 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
They paid sticker price for Ty'Ron Hopper in slot 175, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick187 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in the 187th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
Pick190 Rnd6 Delmar Glaze
No drama and no debate, Delmar Glaze went about where he belonged in the 190th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick202 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall in the Round 6 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jalen Coker
They liked Jalen Coker enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 239. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick240 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
They read the board right and Frank Gore Jr. was the payoff at pick No. 240. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick255 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Josh Proctor at Round 7, Pick 35 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
