Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueC NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Saints turned the phones into found money: B.

The Saints torched the value chart for Isaac TeSlaa, taking him 123 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The Grant 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.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
In No. 14 they get juice off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Circle this one: Kenneth Grant at the 40th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
They took Jonah Savaiinaea at par in Round 2, Pick 13, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick71 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A running back of that caliber at pick 71 is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick93 Rnd3 Savion Williams
By-the-book stuff, Savion Williams at pick No. 93 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jake Majors
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jake Majors this early at the Round 4 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick117 Rnd4 Isaac TeSlaa
They talked themselves into Isaac TeSlaa at slot 117, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick131 Rnd4 Bilhal Kone
Value said wait; Bilhal Kone in the 131st overall pick says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick184 Rnd6 Desmond Watson
A wild overpay on Desmond Watson in the 184th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick232 Rnd7 Andrew Armstrong
A big swing on Andrew Armstrong at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick248 Rnd7 Brandon Adams
They reached into another round for Brandon Adams, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick254 Rnd7 Shilo Sanders
They reached a country mile for Shilo Sanders at Round 7, Pick 38, and the board is aghast. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
