Jdawg209 DRAFTING FOR THESaints
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Saints
Overall
B-
ValueB-

FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Saints, and a B- to prove it. Every other box got a look, but cornerback did not. The Saints will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with.
They will need Moore to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They banked enough surplus on Horn Jr. to cover a lot of smaller sins. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Mason Graham
Mason Graham in the Round 1 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick40
Rnd2
James Pearce Jr.
They did well to land James Pearce Jr. in the 40th pick, just ahead of his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71
Rnd3
Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in pick No. 71 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick113
Rnd4
Riley Mahlman
Good price on Riley Mahlman in Round 4, Pick 12, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick149
Rnd5
Barion Brown
The board had cheaper options than Barion Brown at the 149th overall pick, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick251
Rnd7
Jimmy Horn Jr.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jimmy Horn Jr. at pick 251 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
