Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
Milroe should have been long gone. The Saints pounced, and earned a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jalen Milroe got past him. The Saints do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 71.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Princely Umanmielen
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get juice off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Deone Walker
A tidy little value on Deone Walker in pick 40, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
The board had Tyleik Williams higher than slot 45, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
You do not let a quarterback like Jalen Milroe reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick123 Rnd4 Riley Mahlman
Riley Mahlman in the 123rd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jaeden Roberts
Jaeden Roberts in pick No. 149 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick161 Rnd5 Daylen Everette
Daylen Everette in the 161st overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick249 Rnd7 Marcus Mbow
Value with a capital V on Marcus Mbow in No. 249, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick251 Rnd7 Kamari Wilson
They let Kamari Wilson come to them and pounced at Round 7, Pick 37. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
