Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Saints went off the board in a big way for Kaimon Rucker, 52 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The Judkins pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Will Johnson
Will Johnson at pick No. 9 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick40 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Somehow Walter Nolen was still sitting there in the 40th overall pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick71 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in pick 71 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick93 Rnd3 Kaimon Rucker
Kaimon Rucker in slot 93 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick111 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
A running back of that caliber at No. 111 is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick130 Rnd4 Elijah Roberts
Elijah Roberts at Round 4, Pick 29 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick186 Rnd6 Kobe Hudson
A conviction pick on Kobe Hudson at the Round 6 slot that the board grades a round light. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
