Draft Grade — Saints
Overall

FutureB+
Penix Jr. is the plan now, and the Saints grade out a B. The search is over. The Saints handed the keys to Michael Penix Jr., and the whole operation now runs on his development. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
If Adams pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Michael Penix Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick59
Rnd2
Sedrick Van Pran
They paid sticker price for Sedrick Van Pran in pick 59, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick136
Rnd4
Bryce Foster
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Bryce Foster well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick147
Rnd5
Isaiah Adams
Isaiah Adams in No. 147 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick170
Rnd5
Javon Foster
No edge and no loss on Javon Foster in the 170th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
