Draft Grade — Saints
Overall D
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB+
Monangai should have been long gone. The Saints pounced, and earned a D.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Saints, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. The math is unkind, and the D follows.

If Cook pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Monangai.

On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a double-digit-sack hope at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker slipping to the Round 2 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kenneth Grant at the 39th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick40 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
They went early on JT Tuimoloau in pick 40, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick66 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in No. 66 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick71 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
The board fumbled Harold Fannin Jr. all the way to the 71st pick, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick93 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
The board had Ozzy Trapilo higher than pick No. 93, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick95 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams at Round 3, Pick 31 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick97 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Nice patience on Andrew Mukuba, who had no business lasting to the 97th pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish in slot 112 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick131 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Taking Kevin Winston Jr. in No. 131 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick133 Rnd4 Jaylin Lane
Jaylin Lane is a better player than pick 133 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick184 Rnd6 Thomas Fidone II
A real head-scratcher, Thomas Fidone II in the 184th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick248 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Circle this one: Kyle Monangai at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick254 Rnd7 Davin Vann
Davin Vann at the 254th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick257 Rnd7 Brady Cook
A big swing on Brady Cook at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
