re: What's your Saints draft grade?

I said this in the other thread that this is based on projection so it's subject to change, and as it should be higher round picks are more weighted as they have higher expectations.
I gave it B+ with a chance to get an A if all of our late round picks work out and the first two do as well as expected, or a C+(I think) if none of the late picks work out but the first 2 still do.
Payton said they would have had to reach in any given round to get a center, so I applaud them for not doing that.
Best case scenario is that Cooks is a beast, JB becomes the nickel this year and at least a solid starter next year but hopefully on the level with Lewis, Fortt takes over for Hawthorne next year, Powell takes over for Haralson next year, Sunseri takes over the 3rd safety role from Bush in 2 years, and Rooks wins a backup tackle job and becomes a starter in 3-4 years when we part with Strief.
Drafts aren't about this year alone. All of these guys have a role and hopefully they eventually fulfill it.
So I'll give you my actually grade in about 3 years, and a better projection of it after preseason.

C-
Forte LB are a reach
6th rd tackle would not of got drafted
Cooks good pick but cost us a 3rd
Not sure about drafting a Corner in2nd
With two years exp that have "stiff hips"
We still need a Center
Only picks I like were Cooks and Powell
