Grading the New Orleans Pelicans 2021 NBA Draft

What overall grade would you give the Pelicans for emerging from the 2021 NBA Draft with Trey Murphy III and Herbert Jones, while moving their final three second round picks (2 trades, 1 sold outright)? Why? Was there a player you overwhelming preferred that was still on the board at any selection?

Kevin: B+

This B+ is sniffing an A-. I do really like the offseason so far — even with some moves feeling two years after they should have been made and others like they are mainly righting old wrongs. That being said, the capital of getting out of the Bledsoe and Adams’ contracts can be found in between my couch cushions.
