Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Saints worked the phones like thieves and earned a B.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Saints spent No. 122 on Kyle Williams, a name the board had a full 50 spots lower. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took McMillan. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick33 Rnd2 Tetairoa McMillan
Circle this one: Tetairoa McMillan at slot 33 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in No. 40 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick45 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at the 45th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick51 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins at pick 51 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Omarr Norman-Lott
No edge and no loss on Omarr Norman-Lott in pick No. 67; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick71 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
The board had Dylan Sampson higher than Round 3, Pick 7, and the running back fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jalen Milroe
They took Jalen Milroe at par in slot 93, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick94 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in the 94th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick112 Rnd4 Lathan Ransom
Value with a capital V on Lathan Ransom in Round 4, Pick 10, a genuine coup. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick122 Rnd4 Kyle Williams
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kyle Williams. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick131 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in pick 131 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick184 Rnd6 Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in the Round 6 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick197 Rnd6 Tahj Brooks
A straight-up fair deal on Tahj Brooks at the 197th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jamon Dumas-Johnson in pick No. 200, miles early. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick208 Rnd6 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at slot 208 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick248 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
They reached into another round for Hayden Conner, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jabbar Muhammad
A quiet steal in the 254th pick: Jabbar Muhammad for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
