Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Saints a B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Saints spent pick No. 111 on Ty Robinson, a name most had 60 spots down the list. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

That Restrepo pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a workhorse for the backfield at fair value.
Pick40 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
A real head-scratcher, Donovan Ezeiruaku in the 40th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Charles Grant
This one needs a full-page explanation: Charles Grant in No. 71, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick93 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo at Round 3, Pick 29 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
A wild overpay on Ty Robinson in slot 111, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick138 Rnd4 Oronde Gadsden II
No drama and no debate, Oronde Gadsden II went about where he belonged in pick 138. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick139 Rnd4 Cody Simon
Fair-plus on Cody Simon, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
