Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Saints.

The Dylan Fairchild selection is the head-turner. The Saints reached 34 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

Harvey falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In pick No. 9 they get juice off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
A slide stopped in the 40th overall pick, with Emeka Egbuka worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Value said wait; Dylan Fairchild in Round 3, Pick 7 says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick93 Rnd3 Joshua Farmer
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Joshua Farmer. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick112 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
Sebastian Castro at the 112th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick131 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce in slot 131 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick184 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
They robbed the room for RJ Harvey here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
