Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Saints for Singleton: B+.

The Saints spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Nicholas Singleton, the No. 103 name on the board, in the 185th overall pick. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 14th overall pick they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Value with a capital V on Tate Ratledge in pick 42, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick45 Rnd2 Malaki Starks
Malaki Starks in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick74 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
A tight end of that caliber at No. 74 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
You do not let a running back like TreVeyon Henderson reach Round 3, Pick 23 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick111 Rnd4 Deontae Lawson
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Deontae Lawson in pick No. 111, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick123 Rnd4 Savion Williams
A tidy bit of business in slot 123, where Savion Williams graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick185 Rnd6 Nicholas Singleton
Somehow Nicholas Singleton was still sitting there in the 185th pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in Round 7, Pick 34 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick253 Rnd7 DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at No. 253 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
