Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Quarterback settled, Penix Jr. in the fold, and a B+ for the Saints.

Nobody else had Trevor Keegan anywhere near pick No. 170. The Saints did, by 64 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

Whatever Michael Penix Jr. becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. Guyton falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Michael Penix Jr.
In pick No. 19 they get a franchise quarterback, outstanding value to boot.
Pick68 Rnd3 Tyler Guyton
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick 68 is the definition of value, full stop. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick136 Rnd4 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at No. 136 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick152 Rnd5 Aki Ogunbiyi
Aki Ogunbiyi at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick170 Rnd5 Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan at Round 5, Pick 34 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick176 Rnd6 AJ Barner
AJ Barner in the 176th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick182 Rnd6 Austin Stogner
The board had cheaper options than Austin Stogner at slot 182, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick192 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
The board fumbled Frank Gore Jr. all the way to the 192nd overall pick, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick200 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
Nice patience on Kimani Vidal, who had no business lasting to the 200th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick224 Rnd7 Sheridan Jones
Nothing to complain about; Sheridan Jones went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
