Draft Grade — Saints
Overall D+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureA
The Saints lost the trade table, and the D+ tells the story.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Saints took Andrew Armstrong at Round 7, Pick 38, roughly 46 spots before his name belonged. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D+.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On value alone, Ewers makes the weekend a net positive.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Jahdae Barron
Circle this one: Jahdae Barron at No. 33 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
They robbed the room for Tyler Warren here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
They did well to land Dylan Sampson in pick No. 67, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick69 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
No edge and no loss on Omarr Norman-Lott in Round 3, Pick 5; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick71 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in the 71st overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
The board fumbled Jalen Royals all the way to slot 93, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick94 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
They paid a round early for Dylan Fairchild in the 94th pick, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112 Rnd4 Kobe King
They went early on Kobe King in the 112th overall pick, and the value did not follow. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick131 Rnd4 Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers in No. 131 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick144 Rnd5 O'Donnell Fortune
By-the-book stuff, O'Donnell Fortune at slot 144 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick248 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
A tidy bit of business in Round 7, Pick 32, where Isaac TeSlaa graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick254 Rnd7 Andrew Armstrong
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Andrew Armstrong. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
