Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Saints spent slot 73 on Bryce Lance, a name most had 48 spots down the list. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Landing Perkins Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In No. 8 they get a featured back. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jake Slaughter
Jake Slaughter at Round 2, Pick 10 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick73 Rnd3 Bryce Lance
They talked themselves into Bryce Lance at slot 73, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick132 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun at the Round 4 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick136 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. at the 136th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick150 Rnd5 Kaleb Proctor
Kaleb Proctor in the 150th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick172 Rnd5 Josh Cameron
They paid up for Josh Cameron at No. 172 when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick190 Rnd6 Taylen Green
Taylen Green slid further than he should have, and the 190th pick is lovely value for the quarterback. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
