Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedB TradesD+ FutureA+
The Saints let Collins fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

The Saints spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Alfred Collins, the No. 56 name on the board, in pick No. 254.

The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick40 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Taking Ashton Jeanty in the Round 2 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick54 Rnd2 Armand Membou
They will replay Armand Membou at the 54th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick57 Rnd2 Cam Ward
Cam Ward in the 57th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at Round 3, Pick 7 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at pick 93 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick112 Rnd4 Walter Nolen
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Walter Nolen reach No. 112 and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick124 Rnd4 Colston Loveland
Steal is underselling it; Colston Loveland at pick No. 124 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick128 Rnd4 Kenneth Grant
They barely believed it either: Kenneth Grant still on the board at slot 128. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick184 Rnd6 Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at pick No. 184 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick198 Rnd6 Trey Amos
They robbed the room for Trey Amos here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick205 Rnd6 T.J. Sanders
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at No. 205 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick232 Rnd7 Josaiah Stewart
Circle this one: Josaiah Stewart at the 232nd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Somehow Demetrius Knight Jr. was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick248 Rnd7 Tre Harris
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tre Harris in Round 7, Pick 32, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick254 Rnd7 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in pick 254 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
