Draft Grade — Saints
Overall F
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureD
The Saints left with their quarterback, and a F to match.

The Saints spent real capital to be 30 picks early on Malachi Moore, and the board is going to hold them to it. The board sounded every alarm, and the F is the fallout.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Everything downstream of Jayden Daniels depends on Jayden Daniels, and the building knows it.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Landing Muhammad III that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with edge rusher still staring back at them.

Pick Analysis
Pick3 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick No. 3 they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at the 46th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick136 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
This one needs a full-page explanation: Malachi Moore in the Round 4 slot, miles early. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick150 Rnd5 Cody Schrader
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cody Schrader. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170 Rnd5 Braden Fiske
A straight-up fair deal on Braden Fiske at Round 5, Pick 34, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick176 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at pick 176 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick191 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
They talked themselves into Miles Frazier at the Round 6 slot, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Moose Muhammad III
You do not let a wide receiver like Moose Muhammad III reach No. 206 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
