re: PFF grades Saints draft class A+

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.

I think Lattimore will still be here next season. Fuaga hopefully can learn both L and R tackle. Sucks about Ram but he served his time here and was a very good player.

If you believe this is equal player for player, the Saints have made significant progress in cleaning up the salary cap. How is that alone not a win in your view?

I think this is my problem with the draft. I didn’t want to trade up and I didn’t dislike any of our picks.
But this draft was so deep and you saw teams like the Eagles, Bengals, & Packers get appreciably better with their picks.
Even if you take out the Caleb Williams pick, the Bears only had four other picks, but they were guys who will play for them. (Odunze, Amegadjie, Taylor and Booker)
I feel like we got two good players and several lottery tickets. We weren’t good last year and we didn’t really get better.

That’s what happens when your organization has missed on a lot of picks over the years and your former elite talent is either getting older or just flat out getting worse. The important thing was that they didn’t trade future assets and are likely going to be attempting a soft reset after this year.
And when you do something like that you need drafts like this one that inject the roster with quality talent that can be a building block for future drafts. But just to be clear, the Saints need AT LEAST two more drafts like this one (and find a QB/Coach) to get back to the top half of the NFL
