Draft Grade — Saints
Overall A
ValueB+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureA+
The Saints let Scott fall and pounced. Final grade: A.

The Saints spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Justin Scott, the No. 21 name on the board, in Round 3, Pick 9. Little to argue with here, and the A says so.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The veteran additions, D.J. Reed chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Dylan Stewart
In No. 17 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick60 Rnd2 Will Echoles
Steal is underselling it; Will Echoles at pick 60 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick73 Rnd3 Justin Scott
Justin Scott at pick No. 73 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick85 Rnd3 Samson Okunlola
Taking Samson Okunlola in the 85th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick100 Rnd3 Nico Iamaleava
They did well to land Nico Iamaleava in Round 3, Pick 36, just ahead of his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick126 Rnd4 Ashton Hampton
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ashton Hampton at the Round 4 slot. The roster fit checks out.
Pick132 Rnd4 Isaac Brown
Isaac Brown at slot 132 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick136 Rnd4 Brandon Inniss
A slide stopped in the 136th overall pick, with Brandon Inniss worth more than the price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick148 Rnd5 Blake Frazier
Blake Frazier at the Round 5 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick170 Rnd5 Lawson Luckie
Lawson Luckie in Round 5, Pick 32 is fair value, right on his grade. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick188 Rnd6 Braelin Moore
A offensive lineman of that caliber at No. 188 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
