Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Saints a B.

The Saints' one glaring miss is cornerback, a need they left exactly as they found it.

The Brazzell II steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 David Bailey
In the 8th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Chris Brazzell II
Chris Brazzell II is a better player than the Round 2 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick73 Rnd3 Domonique Orange
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Domonique Orange. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
