Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Milum should have been long gone. The Saints pounced, and earned a B.

The board owed the Saints one, and it paid up: Wyatt Milum, the No. 28 name on the board, sitting there at the 251st pick like a gift left on the doorstep. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In No. 9 they get juice off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty in slot 40 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick71 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the 71st pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The roster fit checks out.
Pick93 Rnd3 Cam Ward
The board fumbled Cam Ward all the way to the 93rd overall pick, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick110 Rnd4 Kenneth Grant
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Kenneth Grant reach Round 4, Pick 9 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick129 Rnd4 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at pick 129 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick182 Rnd6 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick251 Rnd7 Wyatt Milum
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 251 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick254 Rnd7 Malachi Moore
They will replay Malachi Moore at pick No. 254 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
