Draft Grade — Saints
Overall F
ValueF NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The board had answers; the Saints had Thomas. Grade: F.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Saints shredded theirs for Omari Thomas. He came off 242 spots early, and the room will hear about it. The board sounded every alarm, and the F is the fallout.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Neal. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

In the end, a class that has to defy its grades just to matter.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In the 9th overall pick they get juice off the edge, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in No. 40 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick71 Rnd3 Ja'Quinden Jackson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ja'Quinden Jackson well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick93 Rnd3 Tyler Booker
They robbed the room for Tyler Booker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick109 Rnd4 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
A big swing on Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at pick No. 109, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick131 Rnd4 Omari Thomas
Omari Thomas at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick184 Rnd6 Riley Leonard
Steal is underselling it; Riley Leonard at No. 184 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick218 Rnd7 Bryson Nesbit
Bryson Nesbit at slot 218 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick240 Rnd7 Ali Jennings
A wild overpay on Ali Jennings in pick 240, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick248 Rnd7 Devin Neal
Circle this one: Devin Neal at the 248th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick254 Rnd7 Kaden Prather
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kaden Prather this early at Round 7, Pick 38. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
