Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB FutureB
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Saints: B.

The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named edge rusher, a need the Saints walked right past.

On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most. They chose more darts over a bigger single swing. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick22 Rnd1 JC Latham
In slot 22 they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick45 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Good price on Xavier Legette in No. 45, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick50 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at the Round 2 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
