Draft Grade — Saints
Overall

FutureC
Conviction outran the board for the Saints, and it cost them: F. It is the swing that defines the weekend: Antario Brown in the Round 6 slot, a good 154 spots before the room expected him. Little went right, and the F does not pretend otherwise.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. However the rest shakes out, Porter at that price is a win they earned.
It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
Bottom line, it will take a lot of luck to make this look better later.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
James Pearce Jr.
In the 6th pick they get a disruptor off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick9
Rnd1
Tyler Booker
In the 9th overall pick they get a building block for the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick35
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in slot 35 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick71
Rnd3
Deone Walker
Deone Walker in No. 71 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick104
Rnd4
Darien Porter
Darien Porter at pick 104 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick121
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 121 is the definition of value, full stop. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick128
Rnd4
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 128th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick130
Rnd4
Oronde Gadsden II
They reached a country mile for Oronde Gadsden II at slot 130, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick155
Rnd5
Raheim Sanders
Raheim Sanders slipping to pick 155 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick165
Rnd5
Que Robinson
Que Robinson in Round 5, Pick 26 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick170
Rnd5
Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at pick No. 170 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick176
Rnd5
Barryn Sorrell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Barryn Sorrell well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick193
Rnd6
Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at No. 193 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick205
Rnd6
Seth McLaughlin
They reached into another round for Seth McLaughlin, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick214
Rnd6
Antario Brown
A wild overpay on Antario Brown in Round 6, Pick 36, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick221
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
They left a pile of value on the table to take Garrett Dellinger this early at slot 221. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick241
Rnd7
Maliq Carr
Value said wait; Maliq Carr in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick254
Rnd7
Brady Cook
A premium they did not need to pay, Brady Cook a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick255
Rnd7
Fentrell Cypress II
This one needs a full-page explanation: Fentrell Cypress II in the 255th pick, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick256
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
Somehow Teddye Buchanan was still sitting there in pick 256, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick257
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
They talked themselves into Thor Griffith at the 257th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
