Draft Grade — Saints
Overall A-
ValueA NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A franchise passer in Maye headlines a A- weekend for the Saints.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Tyler Nubin tumbling to the Saints in the Round 4 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about. One of the weekend's best, top to bottom, and a A- to show for it.

So much rides on Drake Maye that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Drake Maye and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Drake Maye
A quiet steal in No. 20: Drake Maye for less than the market said. It fills a real need, too.
Pick48 Rnd2 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
Circle this one: Olumuyiwa Fashanu at the Round 2 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick51 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman is a better player than the 51st pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick96 Rnd3 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Taking Ja'Tavion Sanders in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick119 Rnd4 Tyler Nubin
You do not let a safety like Tyler Nubin reach pick No. 119 and blink. They did not. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick150 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
They did well to land Trevor Keegan in Round 5, Pick 14, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tommy Eichenberg
Steal is underselling it; Tommy Eichenberg at No. 169 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick175 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube at the 175th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
