Draft Grade — Saints
Overall
B
ValueB-
NeedA-
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Saints checked most of the boxes and earned a B. You can draft well and still miss the point. The Saints did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to cornerback, which was the need that mattered most. The bottom line is a respectable B.
On the needs board they went 2 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. The skill positions did well by the weekend.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick8
Rnd1
Carnell Tate
In the 8th overall pick they get a home-run threat at receiver at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick42
Rnd2
Joshua Josephs
No drama and no debate, Joshua Josephs went about where he belonged in pick No. 42. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
