Draft Grade — Saints
Overall C+
ValueD+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureC+
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Saints: C+.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Saints spent slot 28 on Braden Fiske, a name the board had a full 42 spots lower.

For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Hart pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

If Braden Fiske and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Braden Fiske
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
Pick37 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at the 37th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick60 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at pick 60 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick103 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at pick No. 103 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick129 Rnd4 Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt in No. 129 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick144 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
A real head-scratcher, Braiden McGregor in slot 144 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick192 Rnd6 Emani Bailey
They liked Emani Bailey enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 192. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
