Draft Grade — Saints
Overall C
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The Saints lost the trade table, and the C tells the story.

The Saints torched the value chart for Trey Knox, taking him 39 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It washes out to a C, no better and no worse.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Sainristil value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 JC Latham
JC Latham at pick No. 14 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick45 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
No edge and no loss on J.J. McCarthy in Round 2, Pick 13; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick95 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They let Mike Sainristil come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick114 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in the 114th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick149 Rnd5 Trey Knox
They talked themselves into Trey Knox at pick 149, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick167 Rnd5 Nathan Thomas
A reach on Nathan Thomas in slot 167; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson in No. 169 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick174 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
They jumped the gun on Michael Barrett, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick192 Rnd6 Isaiah Davis
They paid sticker price for Isaiah Davis in the 192nd pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick200 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at pick 200 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
