Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Saints a B.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Zion Logue in the Round 6 slot, a good 38 spots before the room expected him. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Milton III. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 14th pick they get a long-term starter on the line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Kalen King
A straight-up fair deal on Kalen King at pick 45, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick136 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at the 136th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Darius Robinson
By-the-book stuff, Darius Robinson at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick170 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Steal is underselling it; Joe Milton III at pick No. 170 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick176 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
They took Aki Ogunbiyi at par in No. 176, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick192 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on De'Corian Clark. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick203 Rnd6 Zion Logue
They talked themselves into Zion Logue at the 203rd pick, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
