Draft Grade — Saints
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB
The phones sank the Saints this weekend: D.

The Saints did not so much draft Jaylan Ford as overpay for him, 40 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the 22nd pick they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy at pick 45 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
A straight-up fair deal on Mike Sainristil at No. 53, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick71 Rnd3 T.J. Tampa
Quietly one of the better values of the day, T.J. Tampa at the 71st overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick90 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They jumped the gun on Maason Smith, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick120 Rnd4 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick138 Rnd5 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at slot 138 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. The roster fit checks out.
Pick150 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
They took Trevor Keegan at par in the 150th pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick168 Rnd5 AJ Barner
AJ Barner at pick 168 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick170 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
A wild overpay on Grayson Murphy in the 170th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at Round 5, Pick 39 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick190 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at pick No. 190 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick199 Rnd6 Evan Williams
A big swing on Evan Williams at No. 199, well ahead of any board in the building. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick239 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Frank Gore Jr. this early at the Round 7 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
