Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-

Good, not great, for the Saints: B-.

The tape said wait; the Saints did not. Taulia Tagovailoa went at No. 243, a good 47 picks before the board was ready.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Rosengarten. That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick28 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In No. 28 they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick54 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They let Chris Braswell come to them and pounced at slot 54. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick60 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
They paid sticker price for Kiran Amegadjie in Round 2, Pick 28, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick85 Rnd3 Malik Washington
The board had cheaper options than Malik Washington at the 85th pick, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick134 Rnd4 Dallin Holker
They jumped the gun on Dallin Holker, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It fills a real need, too.
Pick150 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten slipping to pick 150 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick168 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
They read the board right and Isaiah Davis was the payoff at the 168th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick175 Rnd5 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at the Round 5 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick190 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
No drama and no debate, Johnny Dixon went about where he belonged in No. 190. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick239 Rnd7 Ethan Driskell
A big swing on Ethan Driskell at pick No. 239, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick243 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
Taulia Tagovailoa at slot 243 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
