Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B+
ValueA+ NeedB TradesC- FutureA+
Noel should have been long gone. The Saints pounced, and earned a B+.

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Saints were there to profit. Jaylin Noel, the No. 61 name on the board, should have been long gone before Round 7, Pick 38. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick40 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
They will replay Ashton Jeanty at slot 40 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick71 Rnd3 Cam Ward
Somehow Cam Ward was still sitting there in pick No. 71, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick74 Rnd3 Armand Membou
Armand Membou at the 74th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
You do not let a cornerback like Jahdae Barron reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick95 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
A safety of that caliber at No. 95 is the definition of value, full stop. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick111 Rnd4 Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at pick 111 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jalon Walker
Taking Jalon Walker in the 112th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick131 Rnd4 Colston Loveland
Circle this one: Colston Loveland at Round 4, Pick 29 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick132 Rnd4 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in the 132nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick184 Rnd6 T.J. Sanders
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, T.J. Sanders in pick 184, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick206 Rnd6 Trey Amos
Trey Amos at Round 6, Pick 30 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick226 Rnd7 Josaiah Stewart
They robbed the room for Josaiah Stewart here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick230 Rnd7 Azareye'h Thomas
Steal is underselling it; Azareye'h Thomas at the 230th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick248 Rnd7 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in slot 248 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
