Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesC FutureA+
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Saints a B.

The Marvin Jones Jr. selection is the head-turner. The Saints reached 81 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Lance. They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Derrick Moore
They talked themselves into Derrick Moore at Round 2, Pick 10, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick71 Rnd3 Caden Curry
A wild overpay on Caden Curry in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick94 Rnd3 Darrell Jackson Jr.
They paid sticker price for Darrell Jackson Jr. in pick No. 94, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick132 Rnd4 Bryce Lance
They let Bryce Lance come to them and pounced at pick 132. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick136 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
Value with a capital V on Davison Igbinosun in No. 136, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick147 Rnd5 Taylen Green
A real head-scratcher, Taylen Green in the 147th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick150 Rnd5 Louis Moore
They took Louis Moore at par in No. 150, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick172 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
A slide stopped in pick 172, with Bryce Boettcher worth more than the price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick187 Rnd6 Kaelon Black
Value said wait; Kaelon Black in the 187th pick says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick190 Rnd6 Matt Gulbin
Matt Gulbin slipping to pick No. 190 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick256 Rnd7 Marvin Jones Jr.
A big swing on Marvin Jones Jr. at Round 7, Pick 40, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
