Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Saints.

The Saints spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Emeka Egbuka, the No. 25 name on the board, in slot 46. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Robinson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Laiatu Latu
In pick 13 they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
The board fumbled Emeka Egbuka all the way to No. 46, and they scooped it up. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jonah Monheim
A reach on Jonah Monheim in slot 136; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in pick No. 150 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick170 Rnd5 Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett at the 170th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick176 Rnd6 Darius Robinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Darius Robinson. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick191 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
The board had cheaper options than Brevyn Spann-Ford at the 191st pick, and it noticed. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at Round 6, Pick 29 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
