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

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Saints shredded theirs for Myles Cole. He came off 64 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In the 14th overall pick they get a problem off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at slot 45 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick136 Rnd4 Nehemiah Pritchett
A straight-up fair deal on Nehemiah Pritchett at the 136th pick, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick152 Rnd5 Josh Proctor
A wild overpay on Josh Proctor in pick No. 152, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick170 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis at No. 170 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick176 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
A real head-scratcher, De'Corian Clark in pick 176 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick192 Rnd6 Myles Cole
A big swing on Myles Cole at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick200 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
They went early on Kenny Logan Jr. in the 200th overall pick, and the value did not follow. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
