Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Saints went off the board in a big way for Matthew Jones, 75 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold in the 14th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick41 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
A clean, defensible pick in slot 41 with a little surplus value in Darius Robinson. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150 Rnd5 Braiden McGregor
A reach on Braiden McGregor in pick No. 150; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Justin Eboigbe. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick175 Rnd5 Matthew Jones
They left a pile of value on the table to take Matthew Jones this early at No. 175. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick199 Rnd6 Jaylen Harrell
A conviction pick on Jaylen Harrell at pick 199 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick239 Rnd7 Solomon Byrd
Solomon Byrd at the 239th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
