Draft Grade — Saints
Overall
D-
ValueD+
NeedB+
TradesF
FutureA-
The Saints bled value on every deal, hence the D-. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Saints would have aced it. Quinn Ewers at Round 2, Pick 8 is 52 spots clear of where he belonged.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
They banked enough surplus on Restrepo to cover a lot of smaller sins.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick40
Rnd2
Quinn Ewers
A real head-scratcher, Quinn Ewers in the 40th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick66
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
The board had TreVeyon Henderson higher than the Round 3 slot, and the running back fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick112
Rnd4
Oluwafemi Oladejo
Oluwafemi Oladejo at pick 112 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick121
Rnd4
Xavier Restrepo
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Xavier Restrepo in slot 121. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick122
Rnd4
Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer in No. 122 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
