FutureA+
Larceny in the 79th overall pick lands the Saints a B+, Thieneman and all. The Saints spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Dillon Thieneman, the No. 59 name on the board, in slot 79. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.
They are betting Igbinosun proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Makai Lemon
In the 19th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick36
Rnd2
Arvell Reese
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Arvell Reese at pick No. 36 is the proof. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick67
Rnd3
Xavier Chaplin
They jumped the gun on Xavier Chaplin, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick79
Rnd3
Dillon Thieneman
Dillon Thieneman at Round 3, Pick 15 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick114
Rnd4
Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson in No. 114 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick115
Rnd4
Chris Johnson
A straight-up fair deal on Chris Johnson at slot 115, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick134
Rnd4
Parker Brailsford
Good price on Parker Brailsford in pick 134, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick137
Rnd4
Terrance Carter Jr.
They liked Terrance Carter Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in the 137th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick140
Rnd4
Derrick Moore
A reach on Derrick Moore in the 140th pick; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick146
Rnd5
Kage Casey
Kage Casey at pick No. 146 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick147
Rnd5
Davison Igbinosun
They reached into another round for Davison Igbinosun, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
