Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Saints worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

Some picks age like wine; Red Murdock at the 152nd overall pick will need to, sitting 32 spots clear of his grade. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Bell pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Spending an early pick on linebacker with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Sonny Styles
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker. More want than need.
Pick42 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
They took D'Angelo Ponds at par in the 42nd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick73 Rnd3 Eli Stowers
They robbed the room for Eli Stowers here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
Pick92 Rnd3 Zakee Wheatley
Zakee Wheatley at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick112 Rnd4 Skyler Bell
They barely believed it either: Skyler Bell still on the board at slot 112. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick132 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Harold Perkins Jr. in the 132nd pick leaves edge rusher, quarterback and other spots for later.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jaeden Roberts
A straight-up fair deal on Jaeden Roberts at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick150 Rnd5 Aamil Wagner
Aamil Wagner at Round 5, Pick 10 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Red Murdock
They left a pile of value on the table to take Red Murdock this early at the 152nd pick. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick172 Rnd5 Oscar Delp
They paid a round early for Oscar Delp in pick 172, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick190 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Pat Coogan. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
