Draft Grade — Saints

FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Saints this weekend: B. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Gabe Jacas, 52 picks early at slot 45.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The Lee III value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Akheem Mesidor
In pick 28 they get a disruptor off the edge, though the board says they badly overpaid. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Lee Hunter
Lee Hunter at Round 2, Pick 6 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick45
Rnd2
Gabe Jacas
Gabe Jacas in No. 45 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick63
Rnd2
Malachi Fields
A premium they did not need to pay, Malachi Fields a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick77
Rnd3
Derrick Moore
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Derrick Moore well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick116
Rnd4
Kevin Coleman Jr.
A big swing on Kevin Coleman Jr. at slot 116, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick125
Rnd4
Will Lee III
Nice patience on Will Lee III, who had no business lasting to the 125th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick132
Rnd4
Ar'maj Reed-Adams
A straight-up fair deal on Ar'maj Reed-Adams at slot 132, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick136
Rnd4
David Oke
A reach for David Oke in the 136th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick148
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at pick No. 148 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169
Rnd5
Oscar Delp
A conviction pick on Oscar Delp at No. 169 that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick170
Rnd5
Le'Veon Moss
Le'Veon Moss in pick 170 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick188
Rnd6
Gracen Halton
A clean, defensible pick in Round 6, Pick 9 with a little surplus value in Gracen Halton. It fills a real need, too.
Pick210
Rnd6
Diego Pavia
Fair-plus on Diego Pavia, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
