Draft Grade — Saints
Overall D+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureC
The Saints bet the future on Sanders. The board says D+.

Some picks age like wine; Que Robinson at the 112th overall pick will need to, sitting 79 spots clear of his grade. Put together, it is a D+.

The whole projection now runs through Shedeur Sanders; hit there and everything else looks smarter. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and running back is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Shedeur Sanders
In the 9th overall pick they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in pick 40 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
They went early on Jayden Higgins in Round 2, Pick 9, and the value did not follow. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Darien Porter
By-the-book stuff, Darien Porter at slot 71 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick93 Rnd3 David Walker
David Walker in the 93rd pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick112 Rnd4 Que Robinson
Que Robinson at No. 112 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick184 Rnd6 Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse in the 184th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick233 Rnd7 Bilhal Kone
They paid sticker price for Bilhal Kone in No. 233, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick240 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
They reached a country mile for Collin Oliver at Round 7, Pick 24, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick248 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton in the 248th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
They reached into another round for Jalen Travis, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
