Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesC+ FutureB
Slaughter should have been long gone. The Saints pounced, and earned a B.

The Saints' one glaring miss is edge rusher, a need they left exactly as they found it.

The Slaughter steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jeremiyah Love
In slot 8 they get an every-down engine for the run game. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
A quiet steal in No. 49: Emmanuel Pregnon for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jake Slaughter
Taking Jake Slaughter in the 73rd pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick132 Rnd4 Davison Igbinosun
Davison Igbinosun slipping to the 132nd overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick136 Rnd4 Chris McClellan
A clean, defensible pick in Round 4, Pick 36 with a little surplus value in Chris McClellan. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
Beau Stephens in pick 148 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Reggie Virgil
Reggie Virgil slid further than he should have, and pick 170 is lovely value for the wide receiver. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick188 Rnd6 Marlin Klein
A tidy bit of business in the Round 6 slot, where Marlin Klein graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
