Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Saints, and a B to prove it.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Saints spent the Round 5 slot on Adepoju Adebawore, a name the board had a full 45 spots lower. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Carter Smith
In the Round 1 slot they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick42 Rnd2 Boubacar Traore
No edge and no loss on Boubacar Traore in pick No. 42; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick73 Rnd3 Andrew Sprague
Good price on Andrew Sprague in Round 3, Pick 9, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick132 Rnd4 John Curry
John Curry at slot 132 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick136 Rnd4 Wendell Gregory
A premium they did not need to pay, Wendell Gregory a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick148 Rnd5 Adepoju Adebawore
Adepoju Adebawore at pick 148 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jeremiah Cobb
They went early on Jeremiah Cobb in pick No. 170, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick188 Rnd6 Andrew Rappleyea
Andrew Rappleyea in No. 188 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
