Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
The Saints worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Saints took Pat Coogan a full 32 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Perkins Jr. pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback. The Miller value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
They paid sticker price for Arvell Reese in Round 1, Pick 9, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick42 Rnd2 Omar Cooper Jr.
Omar Cooper Jr. in the 42nd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick73 Rnd3 Christen Miller
Christen Miller at the 73rd pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick74 Rnd3 Mike Washington Jr.
Mike Washington Jr. in pick No. 74 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick109 Rnd4 Oscar Delp
Oscar Delp in the Round 4 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick132 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Harold Perkins Jr. in pick 132 leaves quarterback for later.
Pick136 Rnd4 Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens at the 136th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tyler Onyedim
They paid a round early for Tyler Onyedim in pick 148, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Louis Moore
Louis Moore at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick172 Rnd5 Pat Coogan
Pat Coogan in slot 172 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick190 Rnd6 Ephesians Prysock
They took Ephesians Prysock at par in the 190th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
