Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB FutureB
The Saints did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Sai'vion Jones at pick 112, a reach of 34 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In No. 14 they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon at the Round 2 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Pick45 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in pick No. 45 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick71 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild in slot 71 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick112 Rnd4 Sai'vion Jones
Sai'vion Jones at pick 112 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick118 Rnd4 Chimere Dike
A tidy bit of business in the 118th pick, where Chimere Dike graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
The board had Jeffrey Bassa higher than pick 135, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick184 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens in the Round 6 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
By-the-book stuff, Jermari Harris at Round 7, Pick 16 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick244 Rnd7 John Williams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for John Williams. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick248 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
They read the board right and Isaac TeSlaa was the payoff at the 248th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick253 Rnd7 Moliki Matavao
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Moliki Matavao well ahead of where he belonged. It fills a real need, too.
Pick254 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway at slot 254 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
