Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesA FutureB-
The Saints did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Saints looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Emery Jones Jr. at the 88th pick regardless, 91 picks early. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Carter. With edge rusher, cornerback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 14th pick they get a wrecking ball inside. A real need, handled.
Pick42 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Circle this one: Nick Emmanwori at slot 42 is a fall that decides a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick53 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
The board had Tyler Booker higher than pick 53, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick74 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in the 74th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick87 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 3 slot with a little surplus value in Deontae Lawson. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick88 Rnd3 Emery Jones Jr.
A wild overpay on Emery Jones Jr. in Round 3, Pick 24, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick111 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tez Johnson at the 111th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick123 Rnd4 Savion Williams
Savion Williams slipping to Round 4, Pick 22 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick124 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Barrett Carter in pick 124 leaves edge rusher, cornerback and other spots for later.
