Larceny in the Round 4 slot lands the Saints a B, Farmer and all. The Saints spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Joshua Farmer, the No. 113 name on the board, in the 131st overall pick. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.
Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick22
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In slot 22 they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick50
Rnd2
Landon Jackson
Landon Jackson at pick 50 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick55
Rnd2
Harold Fannin Jr.
A tidy little value on Harold Fannin Jr. in pick No. 55, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick56
Rnd2
Xavier Watts
A quiet steal in the 56th pick: Xavier Watts for less than the market said. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick79
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
The board had Quinshon Judkins higher than the 79th overall pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick92
Rnd3
Quinn Ewers
They paid sticker price for Quinn Ewers in No. 92, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Pick112
Rnd4
Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander slipping to Round 4, Pick 10 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick131
Rnd4
Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick184
Rnd6
Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at No. 184 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick248
Rnd7
LaJohntay Wester
LaJohntay Wester in pick 248 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick254
Rnd7
Cody Lindenberg
Cody Lindenberg in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
