Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Turner should have been long gone. The Saints pounced, and earned a B.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Dallas Turner tumbling to the Saints in slot 46 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They will need Sinnott to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 JC Latham
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Dallas Turner
Dallas Turner at Round 2, Pick 14 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick136 Rnd4 James Williams
They did well to land James Williams in No. 136, just ahead of his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick150 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
A reach on Ben Sinnott in the 150th pick; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
No drama and no debate, Jack Nelson went about where he belonged in slot 170. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick176 Rnd6 T.J. Sanders
They paid sticker price for T.J. Sanders in pick No. 176, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
The board fumbled Jaylin Simpson all the way to the 191st overall pick, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick206 Rnd6 Ricky Pearsall
Good price on Ricky Pearsall in pick 206, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
