Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints kept it disciplined and banked a B.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Saints did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to tight end, which was the need that mattered most. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The cost of the Stockton reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Ellis Robinson IV
In the 8th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick39 Rnd2 Austin Siereveld
Austin Siereveld at pick No. 39 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick72 Rnd3 Wyatt Young
They paid sticker price for Wyatt Young in slot 72, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick108 Rnd4 Anto Saka
No edge and no loss on Anto Saka in the 108th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick147 Rnd5 Gunner Stockton
Gunner Stockton in No. 147 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick180 Rnd6 Justice Haynes
They took Justice Haynes at par in Round 6, Pick 1, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
