Draft Grade — Saints
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Saints and Rogers: D.

The Saints lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Randolph Jr. reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Landing Rogers that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Value with a capital V on Brian Thomas Jr. in pick No. 45, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick75 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They paid up for Mike Sainristil at No. 75 when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick129 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
A straight-up fair deal on Cole Bishop at the 129th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick136 Rnd4 Keith Randolph Jr.
Keith Randolph Jr. at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick152 Rnd5 McCallan Castles
A reasonable price with a little left over, McCallan Castles in pick 152. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick170 Rnd5 Ethan Driskell
A conviction pick on Ethan Driskell at slot 170 that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick176 Rnd6 Justin Rogers
Taking Justin Rogers in Round 6, Pick 1 is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick192 Rnd6 JD Bertrand
JD Bertrand in No. 192 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor itch, scratched.
