Draft Grade — Saints
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureC-
The Saints answered their biggest question with Daniels. Grade: D-.

The Saints lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.

Everything downstream of Jayden Daniels depends on Jayden Daniels, and the building knows it. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. The Hart pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and running back is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jayden Daniels
In the 8th pick they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick46 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
A reasonable price with a little left over, Troy Fautanu in the Round 2 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick50 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
No drama and no debate, Brian Thomas Jr. went about where he belonged in pick No. 50. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick93 Rnd3 Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. at the 93rd overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick130 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart at slot 130 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick136 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at No. 136 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
