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

The Saints ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. The bottom line is a respectable B+.

Landing Hadden that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

The Donovan Wilson deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick24 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
Olumuyiwa Fashanu at pick No. 24 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick45 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at No. 45 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick56 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper is a better player than the 56th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick87 Rnd3 Malik Washington
A reach on Malik Washington in slot 87; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick167 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at the 167th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169 Rnd5 Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick174 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson in slot 174 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick192 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
They barely believed it either: Kamal Hadden still on the board at the 192nd pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick201 Rnd6 Ty'Ron Hopper
They robbed the room for Ty'Ron Hopper here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick230 Rnd7 Myles Cole
A tidy little value on Myles Cole in pick No. 230, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
