Draft Grade — Saints
Overall D
ValueF NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints fought the board and lost. D.

The Rodrick Pleasant selection is the head-turner. The Saints reached 461 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The back end got a real overhaul.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Rodrick Pleasant
In No. 8 they get a sticky cover corner, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick42 Rnd2 Avery Johnson
Avery Johnson at pick No. 42 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick73 Rnd3 Isaiah Nwokobia
They talked themselves into Isaiah Nwokobia at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick132 Rnd4 Shawn Murphy
Value said wait; Shawn Murphy in slot 132 says they were not listening. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick137 Rnd4 DeSean Bishop
A real head-scratcher, DeSean Bishop in the 137th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick148 Rnd5 Isaiah Jatta
A big swing on Isaiah Jatta at the 148th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jaquaize Pettaway
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaquaize Pettaway this early at Round 5, Pick 32. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick190 Rnd6 DJ Campbell
By-the-book stuff, DJ Campbell at pick No. 190 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
