Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
The Saints checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Saints put a flag in the ground for Baylor Cupp, 199 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The Rice steal is the beam this whole class leans on. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kamren Kinchens at slot 45 is the proof. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick59 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Value with a capital V on Kris Jenkins in No. 59, a genuine coup. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick85 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in Round 3, Pick 22 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
They jumped the gun on Braelon Allen, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
The board had Jaylin Simpson higher than pick 167, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick169 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in No. 169 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick174 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
A premium they did not need to pay, Michael Barrett a notch or two before his time. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick192 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Nathan Thomas at the 192nd pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick200 Rnd6 Baylor Cupp
They reached a country mile for Baylor Cupp at Round 6, Pick 25, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
