Draft Grade — Saints
Overall
B+
ValueB-
NeedB
TradesA+
FutureB
The Saints fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. The Saints ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.
The Briggs pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Cowing pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Troy Fautanu
In pick No. 22 they get protection for the quarterback. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
A tidy bit of business in No. 45, where Adonai Mitchell graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick58
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at Round 2, Pick 26 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick89
Rnd3
Jaden Hicks
They did well to land Jaden Hicks in the Round 3 slot, just ahead of his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick126
Rnd4
Christian Jones
They paid sticker price for Christian Jones in slot 126, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick150
Rnd5
Kalen King
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kalen King at the 150th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick168
Rnd5
Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at pick 168 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick169
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing in the 169th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170
Rnd5
Grayson Murphy
No drama and no debate, Grayson Murphy went about where he belonged in pick 170. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick172
Rnd5
Marist Liufau
A slide stopped in the Round 5 slot, with Marist Liufau worth more than the price. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick175
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
The board had cheaper options than Tanor Bortolini at pick No. 175, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick190
Rnd6
Jared Wiley
They went early on Jared Wiley in slot 190, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick239
Rnd7
Jowon Briggs
Jowon Briggs at Round 7, Pick 19 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick247
Rnd7
Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas at No. 247 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick255
Rnd7
Kimani Vidal
A straight-up fair deal on Kimani Vidal at the 255th pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
