Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueA+ NeedB- TradesF FutureA+
The Saints robbed the room for Walker. Final grade: B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Jalon Walker tumbling to the Saints in pick No. 62 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Taking Tyler Warren in pick 40 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick62 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Steal is underselling it; Jalon Walker at Round 2, Pick 30 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
