Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Saints: B.

There is reaching, and then there is Caleb Ransaw at pick No. 184. The Saints jumped the board by 22 and dared it to prove them wrong.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. If one pick saves this weekend, it is TeSlaa. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 9th overall pick they get a workhorse for the backfield. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jonah Savaiinaea. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Tre Harris
They let Tre Harris come to them and pounced at pick 71. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick93 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Fair-plus on Gunnar Helm, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
Good price on Jordan Phillips in slot 112, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick131 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They paid sticker price for Malachi Moore in the 131st pick, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick184 Rnd6 Caleb Ransaw
A wild overpay on Caleb Ransaw in the Round 6 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick248 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Isaac TeSlaa at pick 248 is the proof. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick254 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
A reach on Hayden Conner in pick No. 254; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
