Draft Grade — Saints
Overall C
ValueF NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Saints, and a C to match.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Saints reached some 311 spots for Jared Brown, and value like that does not grow back. For now it grades a C, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

The Rivers steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 T.J. Parker
In the 8th pick they get juice off the edge, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick42 Rnd2 Isaiah Nwokobia
This one needs a full-page explanation: Isaiah Nwokobia in the Round 2 slot, miles early. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick73 Rnd3 Fernando Mendoza
A quarterback of that caliber at No. 73 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick132 Rnd4 J'Mari Taylor
J'Mari Taylor in pick 132 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick136 Rnd4 Fernando Carmona
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Fernando Carmona well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick150 Rnd5 Jared Brown
Jared Brown in pick No. 150 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick172 Rnd5 Dominic Zvada
They talked themselves into Dominic Zvada at slot 172, and the board did not agree. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick190 Rnd6 Chandler Rivers
They robbed the room for Chandler Rivers here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
