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

Call it larceny. Colston Loveland sat on the board until pick 45, and the Saints did not need to be asked twice.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with offensive lineman the one that mattered most. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In No. 30 they get an anchor for the defensive front, outstanding value to boot.
Pick40 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
No drama and no debate, Aireontae Ersery went about where he belonged in pick No. 40. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick45 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
A tight end of that caliber at slot 45 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick54 Rnd2 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at Round 2, Pick 22 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick62 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Xavier Watts graded well above the range. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick71 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at the 71st overall pick is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick93 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Fair-plus on Donovan Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick111 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at pick 111 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick130 Rnd4 Dillon Gabriel
Dillon Gabriel in pick No. 130 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
