Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Anthony Belton selection is the head-turner. The Saints reached 32 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Adams steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Bralen Trice
In pick No. 13 they get juice off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in the 46th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick136 Rnd4 Justin Rogers
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 4 slot with a little surplus value in Justin Rogers. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick150 Rnd5 Isaiah Adams
They read the board right and Isaiah Adams was the payoff at slot 150. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Keith Randolph Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Keith Randolph Jr. this early at the 170th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick176 Rnd6 Theo Johnson
They took Theo Johnson at par in Round 6, Pick 1, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick191 Rnd6 Anthony Belton
They talked themselves into Anthony Belton at No. 191, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick204 Rnd6 Steve Linton
No edge and no loss on Steve Linton in pick No. 204; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
