Draft Grade — Saints
Overall

FutureB-
The Saints finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B. The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Saints spent their marquee pick on Shedeur Sanders, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.
They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They left with offensive lineman solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Shedeur Sanders
In the 9th overall pick they get the arm they will build around at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40
Rnd2
Josh Conerly Jr.
A tidy little value on Josh Conerly Jr. in the 40th pick, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
