Draft Grade — Saints
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureA+
The Saints let Lawson fall into their laps, and walked away with a A-.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Saints walked out of the weekend still thin at edge rusher, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons.

They banked enough surplus on Lawson to cover a lot of smaller sins. Adding Kenny Clark by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

In the end it comes back to Jordyn Tyson, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Jordyn Tyson
In Round 1, Pick 20 they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick47 Rnd2 Emmanuel Pregnon
Emmanuel Pregnon is a better player than pick No. 47 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick73 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
Somehow Deontae Lawson was still sitting there in No. 73, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick136 Rnd4 Demond Claiborne
Value with a capital V on Demond Claiborne in the 136th pick, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick139 Rnd5 Skyler Gill-Howard
They paid sticker price for Skyler Gill-Howard in the 139th overall pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
They let Beau Stephens come to them and pounced at pick 148. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick154 Rnd5 Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at the 154th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Marlin Klein
They did well to land Marlin Klein in No. 170, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick188 Rnd6 Le'Veon Moss
A clean, defensible pick in slot 188 with a little surplus value in Le'Veon Moss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248 Rnd7 Ethan O'Connor
Ethan O'Connor at pick No. 248 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
