Draft Grade — Saints
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureC-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Saints to a D-.

The Saints lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.

They are betting Ford proves the room right and everyone else wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring. However the rest shakes out, Holker at that price is a win they earned.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean at the 25th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick33 Rnd2 Graham Barton
A tidy little value on Graham Barton in pick No. 33, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick39 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks at slot 39 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick41 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
Xavier Worthy in the 41st pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick45 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
They took Kris Jenkins at par in pick 45, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zak Zinter. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
No edge and no loss on Luke McCaffrey in No. 150; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick168 Rnd5 Dallin Holker
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dallin Holker at the Round 5 slot is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis in Round 5, Pick 34 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick190 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
A conviction pick on Jaylan Ford at the 190th overall pick that the board grades a round light. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick199 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in No. 199 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick239 Rnd7 Josh Wallace
They paid a round early for Josh Wallace in pick No. 239, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
