Draft Grade — Saints
Overall C
ValueB- NeedA- TradesF FutureB-
The Saints bled value on every deal, hence the C.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Saints, and the value they bled adds up to real damage. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C in the wash.

The Williams pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

If Isaiah Bond and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Isaiah Bond
They went early on Isaiah Bond in pick 23, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick36 Rnd2 Landon Jackson
Landon Jackson at No. 36 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Omarion Hampton at slot 46 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick78 Rnd3 Josh Simmons
Josh Simmons slid further than he should have, and Round 3, Pick 14 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick110 Rnd4 Mario Williams
They reached into another round for Mario Williams, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick142 Rnd5 Zy Alexander
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zy Alexander well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick174 Rnd6 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at pick No. 174 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
