Draft Grade — Saints
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Saints spent pick No. 71 on Vernon Broughton, a name most had 118 spots down the list. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

The Neal value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the 9th pick they get a building block for the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Shough
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tyler Shough in the Round 2 slot, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick71 Rnd3 Vernon Broughton
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Vernon Broughton well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jonas Sanker
They reached a country mile for Jonas Sanker at pick No. 93, and the board is aghast. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick112 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
They barely believed it either: Danny Stutsman still on the board at Round 4, Pick 10. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick131 Rnd4 Quincy Riley
A premium they did not need to pay, Quincy Riley a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick184 Rnd6 Devin Neal
They robbed the room for Devin Neal here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick248 Rnd7 Connor Colby
Steal is underselling it; Connor Colby at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick254 Rnd7 DeAndre Jules
DeAndre Jules at Round 7, Pick 38 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
