Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Saints a B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Dylan Fairchild, 33 picks early at Round 3, Pick 7. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Helm pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In pick 9 they get a double-digit-sack hope. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in Round 2, Pick 8 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick71 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
A wild overpay on Dylan Fairchild in slot 71, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
They took Jalen Milroe at par in the 93rd pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick112 Rnd4 Gunnar Helm
Taking Gunnar Helm in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
A tidy little value on Jeffrey Bassa in the 131st overall pick, a step better than break-even. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick184 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey at No. 184 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick248 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Theo Wease Jr. at pick 248, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick254 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton in slot 254 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
