Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints kept it disciplined and banked a B.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Saints would have aced it. Paris Shand at pick No. 253 is 38 spots clear of where he belonged.

The Majors steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty slipping to pick No. 10 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick42 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
You do not let a safety like Malaki Starks reach pick 42 and blink. They did not. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick74 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Tyler Warren in Round 3, Pick 10, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick90 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
Value with a capital V on Omarr Norman-Lott in No. 90, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick111 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
Taking Deontae Lawson in slot 111 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick128 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Jake Majors at the 128th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick185 Rnd6 Connor Colby
The board had Connor Colby higher than the 185th pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick253 Rnd7 Paris Shand
A real head-scratcher, Paris Shand in pick 253 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
