Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Higgins should have been long gone. The Saints pounced, and earned a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jayden Higgins, pick No. 93, roughly 35 picks past where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Reaching for Conner left real value on the table behind him. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In pick No. 9 they get an every-down engine for the run game. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
No edge and no loss on Aireontae Ersery in the 40th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
No drama and no debate, Omarr Norman-Lott went about where he belonged in slot 71. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
They robbed the room for Jayden Higgins here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jalen Milroe
The board fumbled Jalen Milroe all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick131 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Cam Skattebo in the 131st overall pick, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick184 Rnd6 Kyle Williams
A quiet steal in Round 6, Pick 8: Kyle Williams for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick248 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in No. 248 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick254 Rnd7 Thomas Fidone II
Thomas Fidone II at Round 7, Pick 38 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
