Draft Grade — Saints
Overall A-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Saints robbed the room for Wilson. Final grade: A-.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jared Wilson, the No. 104 name on the board, stolen at pick No. 139.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, with Ashton Jeanty leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 12th pick they get a three-down runner at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick56 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
Nice patience on JT Tuimoloau, who had no business lasting to pick 56. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Nothing to complain about; Jack Bech went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick85 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Carson Schwesinger for less than the market said. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick97 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
The board had Andrew Mukuba higher than No. 97, and the safety fell to them anyway. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick112 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 112 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick131 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Taking Anthony Belton in Round 4, Pick 29 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jared Wilson in the 139th overall pick, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick184 Rnd6 O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune at slot 184 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick248 Rnd7 Corey Kiner
Corey Kiner at No. 248 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick254 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Cam Jackson in pick 254 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
