Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Saints: B.

For all the boxes ticked, the Saints skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The Randolph Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Legette.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In pick No. 14 they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette is a better player than the 45th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick136 Rnd4 Keith Randolph Jr.
Value said wait; Keith Randolph Jr. in slot 136 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick152 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
No drama and no debate, Braelon Allen went about where he belonged in No. 152. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick170 Rnd5 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson at the 170th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick176 Rnd6 Andru Phillips
Good price on Andru Phillips in the Round 6 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick192 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
By-the-book stuff, JD Bertrand at pick 192 squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick200 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Fair-plus on Christian Jones, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
