Draft Grade — Saints
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureC
Larceny in the Round 2 slot lands the Saints a D-, Warren and all.

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Saints shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Sanders has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Getting Warren where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a potential shutdown corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
No edge and no loss on Tyleik Williams in slot 40; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick42 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
Matthew Golden at the 42nd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick46 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Somehow Tyler Warren was still sitting there in No. 46, and they pounced on premier tight end value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick71 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
No drama and no debate, Andrew Mukuba went about where he belonged in pick No. 71. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick93 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the 93rd pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick109 Rnd4 Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers slid further than he should have, and pick 109 is lovely value for the quarterback. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Nothing to complain about; Cam Skattebo went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick121 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jake Majors at pick No. 121 is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick130 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Taking Savion Williams in the 130th pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick186 Rnd6 Earnest Greene III
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Earnest Greene III in slot 186, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick254 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
Shilo Sanders at the Round 7 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
