I feel like we filled some needs DT, WR, DB, a great prospect at DT/DE and a decent pass catching running back who plays on special teams (Bye Cadet)

B+

Drafting a guard would have made this an A, but clearly saints weren't happy with the guards available when they selected. Would imagine they'll sign quite a few as UDFA.

Straight up B

Loved first 3 picks. Like what I've seen and learned about 4th pick. Last pick, who cares, it's 7th rounder but he looks solid. No A b/c of lack of draft picks though. Pleased with this draft.

Like the players, hate that we didnt get a guard, hate that we gave up future picks when it has proved to be such a failure for us in past years

B+. Could become an A if some of the later guys contribute and make an impact.

B-. This was one of the most loaded drafts with starter capable talent in recent memory, so it's a shame that we only came away with five players. Our first three picks are unquestionably day one starters, our fourth pick has a high ceiling, and our fifth pick has the potential.

Can improve to A- or A depending on the UDFA guards we bring in

Obviously we need at least 1 guard, at least to compete, and we didn't get that, but I think they probably will trade for/sign one at some point, so I'm not too worried.

I really like the first three picks, if we had more ammo on the 3rd day I think we could have done some serious damage.

I'll give it a B.
Like the players, but I hate losing so many picks.

B+ or A- if we find some UDFA gems, particularly at guard.

Didn't pick up a Guard, but we did address DT, S and WR.

I'll get back to you in 4 years. Grading people is f'ing stupid out of the gate.

C. That's being optimistic given this regimes crappy draft history.

Traded up, when we needed all our picks in a deep draft.

Solid B+, could go to A depending on who we get as UDFA. Filled some holes and I feel like the first 3 will all be big contributors. Time will tell on the others
