Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Andrew Armstrong at No. 235, a reach of 39 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

Collins falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 9th pick they get a bell-cow for the offense. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jihaad Campbell. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick71 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
They let Alfred Collins come to them and pounced at pick 71. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick93 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at pick No. 93 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick111 Rnd4 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in No. 111 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick150 Rnd5 Chase Lundt
A reach for Chase Lundt in slot 150; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant is a better player than pick 186 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Nothing to complain about; Jack Kiser went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick204 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
They reached a country mile for Miles Frazier at slot 204, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick235 Rnd7 Andrew Armstrong
They reached into another round for Andrew Armstrong, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick242 Rnd7 Marcus Yarns
Marcus Yarns at No. 242 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
