Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Cobee Bryant at pick 130 will need to, sitting 50 spots clear of his grade. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

However the rest shakes out, Fannin Jr. at that price is a win they earned. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
A straight-up fair deal on Tetairoa McMillan at the Round 1 slot, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in the 40th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick71 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Alfred Collins at the 71st overall pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick93 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
They barely believed it either: Harold Fannin Jr. still on the board at pick No. 93. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick111 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
You do not let an offensive lineman like Ozzy Trapilo reach Round 4, Pick 10 and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
Value said wait; Cobee Bryant in slot 130 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick186 Rnd6 Addison West
Addison West in the Round 6 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick254 Rnd7 Francisco Mauigoa
Francisco Mauigoa in the 254th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
