Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureC
Larceny in No. 239 lands the Saints a B, Hopper and all.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Ty'Ron Hopper, the No. 182 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 239.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The cost of the Lee reach is exactly the players who went right after him. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They will answer for taking OLB-EDGE early while quarterback and tight end went begging.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
By-the-book stuff, Troy Fautanu at No. 18 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick45 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
No drama and no debate, Keon Coleman went about where he belonged in pick 45. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick49 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
The board had cheaper options than Payton Wilson at the 49th pick, and it noticed. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick77 Rnd3 Renardo Green
Renardo Green at the 77th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick112 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Javon Solomon at OLB-EDGE with quarterback and tight end open.
Pick150 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Christian Jones slipping to slot 150 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at Round 5, Pick 32 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick170 Rnd5 Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick175 Rnd5 Grayson Murphy
No edge and no loss on Grayson Murphy in pick 175; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick190 Rnd6 Logan Lee
Logan Lee in the 190th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick199 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in Round 6, Pick 24 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick239 Rnd7 Ty'Ron Hopper
They robbed the room for Ty'Ron Hopper here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
