Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Saints let Etienne fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

Somebody in the 184th overall pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Saints sat still while Trevor Etienne, the No. 150 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Grover Stewart deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In pick No. 14 they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the 40th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick45 Rnd2 Nic Scourton
Nic Scourton in No. 45 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick71 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
They paid sticker price for Tate Ratledge in Round 3, Pick 7, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at the 93rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick112 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A tidy bit of business in the Round 4 slot, where Kevin Winston Jr. graded well above the range. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick131 Rnd4 Dillon Gabriel
Good price on Dillon Gabriel in slot 131, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick184 Rnd6 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne at pick 184 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick248 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cam Jackson at pick No. 248. The roster fit checks out.
Pick254 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Theo Wease Jr.. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
