Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Saints.

Nobody else had Collin Oliver anywhere near slot 254. The Saints did, by 40 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

Bond falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a premier pass rusher, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 T.J. Sanders
A straight-up fair deal on T.J. Sanders at pick 40, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in the 71st pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
Jalen Milroe at No. 93 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick112 Rnd4 Isaiah Bond
Isaiah Bond in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick131 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant in slot 131 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick184 Rnd6 Ollie Gordon II
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 6 slot with a little surplus value in Ollie Gordon II. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick248 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III in the 248th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick254 Rnd7 Collin Oliver
Value said wait; Collin Oliver in No. 254 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
