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.
