Draft Grade — Saints
Overall
C+

NeedB-

FutureB-
Flashes of a plan, unevenly executed. Saints: C+. For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Saints walked out of the weekend still thin at cornerback, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.
If Styles pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.
So much rides on Sonny Styles that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Sonny Styles
In pick 8 they get a sideline-to-sideline linebacker, though they paid up to get him. More want than need.
Pick42
Rnd2
Zion Young
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zion Young. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
