Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB-
Daniels is the plan now, and the Saints grade out a B.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Saints spent their marquee pick on Jayden Daniels, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Rosengarten at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Barrett has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In pick No. 14 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value.
Pick55 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey slipping to the 55th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick86 Rnd3 Nelson Ceaser
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Nelson Ceaser well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick136 Rnd4 Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea in the 136th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
They left a pile of value on the table to take Michael Barrett this early at pick 152. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick164 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
They will replay Nehemiah Pritchett at slot 164 for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick170 Rnd5 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Steal is underselling it; Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick176 Rnd6 Braiden McGregor
A wild overpay on Braiden McGregor in Round 6, Pick 1, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick199 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Roger Rosengarten in pick 199, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick205 Rnd6 Erick All
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Erick All. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
