Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureA+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Saints and Neal: B.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Saints were there to profit. Devin Neal, the No. 96 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick 186. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

Every board in the league had Higgins lower, and that gap is the story. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In the 25th overall pick they get a premier pass rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 DJ Campbell
By-the-book stuff, DJ Campbell at slot 43 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
They reached a country mile for Jayden Higgins at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87 Rnd3 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks at pick No. 87 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick110 Rnd4 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the 110th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123 Rnd4 Jake Majors
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Majors in No. 123, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick186 Rnd6 Devin Neal
Somehow Devin Neal was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 11, and they pounced on premier running back value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jalon Walker
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 224 is the definition of value, full stop. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick253 Rnd7 Tyreak Sapp
They paid a round early for Tyreak Sapp in Round 7, Pick 39, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
