Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueC NeedA- TradesA+ FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Saints and Gordon II: B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Ollie Gordon II tumbling to the Saints in pick 253 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The cost of the Kandra reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

The Chris Godwin deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Jack Sawyer
In pick No. 10 they get juice off the edge, even if it was a touch early. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jayden Higgins
A wild overpay on Jayden Higgins in pick 42, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick74 Rnd3 Luke Kandra
They reached a country mile for Luke Kandra at No. 74, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87 Rnd3 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro at the 87th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick111 Rnd4 Maxwell Hairston
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Maxwell Hairston at the Round 4 slot is the proof. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick185 Rnd6 Eli Stowers
A slide stopped in Round 6, Pick 10, with Eli Stowers worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick253 Rnd7 Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in slot 253 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
