Draft Grade — Saints
Overall C
ValueF NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints did enough to get by: C.

The Saints looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Emmett Johnson at Round 1, Pick 8 regardless, 96 picks early. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

So much rides on Emmett Johnson that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Emmett Johnson
In the 8th overall pick they get a workhorse for the backfield, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Connor Lew
This one needs a full-page explanation: Connor Lew in slot 42, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick73 Rnd3 Zachariah Branch
They read the board right and Zachariah Branch was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 9. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick132 Rnd4 Julian Neal
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Julian Neal at pick 132 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick136 Rnd4 Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton slipping to pick No. 136 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick150 Rnd5 CJ Daniels
A quiet steal in the 150th pick: CJ Daniels for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick172 Rnd5 Tanner Koziol
Tanner Koziol slid further than he should have, and the 172nd overall pick is lovely value for the tight end. It fills a real need, too.
Pick190 Rnd6 Seth McGowan
Value with a capital V on Seth McGowan in Round 6, Pick 9, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
