Draft Grade — Saints
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureC+
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Saints to a D-.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Saints took Tyler Owens at pick 190, roughly 64 spots before his name belonged. The process wobbled, and the D- is where it lands.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Getting Bullock where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 14th pick they get a bendy edge with upside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick15 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the 15th overall pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick33 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Value with a capital V on Troy Fautanu in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick101 Rnd4 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock in Round 4, Pick 1 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick106 Rnd4 Theo Johnson
They jumped the gun on Theo Johnson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick142 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
A tidy little value on Jarrian Jones in No. 142, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick146 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Joe Milton III this early at slot 146. The roster fit checks out.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They reached into another round for Jordan Jefferson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick168 Rnd5 Tip Reiman
A premium they did not need to pay, Tip Reiman a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick170 Rnd5 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in pick No. 170 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Curtis Jacobs
A big swing on Curtis Jacobs at No. 175, well ahead of any board in the building. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick190 Rnd6 Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens at the 190th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick199 Rnd6 Cedric Johnson
Cedric Johnson at Round 6, Pick 24 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick239 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
The board had cheaper options than Kimani Vidal at the Round 7 slot, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
