The fact that we didn't trade away future assets is worth a decent grade in my book

I don’t know if it’s an A+, but we did get players that should have been picked earlier

I'm impressed with my team for this weekend. Now close out the offseason strong with some good FAs.

Draft grades are the worst predictive shite ever. And I know why we like it, but it's made up.

No one knows who is going to work out or not. Immediate impact player or 3+ years development, or a complete washout. If it was easy, everyone would know. Maybe Drunkard knows.

I was pleasantly surprised, and feel good about this draft. Felt intelligent and professional.

Pretty much goes without saying that only time will tell.

This really was a great draft. Good value from top to bottom.

Unfortunately, almost every prospect selection was used to fill an acute need to avoid from getting decidedly worse. (Fuaga for Ram, Kool Aid for Latt, Spencer for Haener/Peterman/Mond, etc.)

For the first time in a while, I can't say the Sants added a player that made the roster better on-paper than the season before. It took this great draft just to remain at par.

Finally a full draft class for 2025 is a possibility for the new head coach. Just wish we could have had a clean salary cap to go along with the draft picks.

I’d compare this draft to buying a dishwasher


You didn’t really want to do it, and you won’t brag to your friends about it, but it’s something you had to do for the future

The Saints employed my fantasy football draft strategy. Don’t try to be the smartest guy in the room and find the diamond in the rough. Go with consensus highly rated prospects still on the board and leave your emotions at the door (OMG why do they hate LSU guys!!!)

It was a great draft. Got very helpful players and didn’t mortgage a future draft for it. We need young help across the board and this is the way to do it.

It was an OK draft. Most besides Ford were at or below slot expectation. We didn't give anything away for future drafts.

About the best you can expect for the Saints.
