Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Saints: B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Saints spent No. 188 on Kamran James, a name most had 76 spots down the list. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but offensive lineman.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Christen Miller
Christen Miller in the 42nd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Lee Hunter
A tidy little value on Lee Hunter in the 73rd pick, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Skyler Gill-Howard
Skyler Gill-Howard at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick136 Rnd4 Chase Roberts
A conviction pick on Chase Roberts at pick No. 136 that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick148 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
Bryce Boettcher at slot 148 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick170 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp in the 170th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick188 Rnd6 Kamran James
Kamran James at the 188th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
