Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Saints a B-.

The Saints spent real capital to be 126 picks early on Jalin Conyers, and the board is going to hold them to it.

On value alone, Bryant makes the weekend a net positive. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The back end got a real overhaul.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick No. 9 they get a lockdown presence outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Elic Ayomanor
They jumped the gun on Elic Ayomanor, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick71 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tate Ratledge. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick93 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
No drama and no debate, Darius Alexander went about where he belonged in No. 93. The roster fit checks out.
Pick112 Rnd4 Devin Neal
They barely believed it either: Devin Neal still on the board at the Round 4 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick131 Rnd4 Mitchell Evans
A premium they did not need to pay, Mitchell Evans a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick184 Rnd6 Pat Bryant
Taking Pat Bryant in pick No. 184 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Hunter Wohler
They paid a round early for Hunter Wohler in Round 7, Pick 32, more than the board wanted. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jalin Conyers
Value said wait; Jalin Conyers in No. 254 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
