Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Saints spent pick 130 on Cobee Bryant, a name most had 49 spots down the list. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

Buchanan falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In pick 9 they get an anchor for the offensive line. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40 Rnd2 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in the Round 2 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Jack Bech at No. 71 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick93 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
They did well to land Chris Paul Jr. in slot 93, just ahead of his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick111 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson in the 111th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick130 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at the 130th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick186 Rnd6 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson at No. 186 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick254 Rnd7 Teddye Buchanan
Circle this one: Teddye Buchanan at pick 254 is a fall that decides a draft. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
