Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Roger Rosengarten in No. 152, a good 23 spots before the room expected him. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. The Wright pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In pick 14 they get juice off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at slot 45 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick136 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at Round 4, Pick 36 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick152 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
A big swing on Roger Rosengarten at the 152nd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jaylen Wright in the Round 5 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick176 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
By-the-book stuff, Curtis Jacobs at the 176th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick192 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
Good price on Ethan Driskell in pick 192, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jared Wiley. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
