Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Saints: B-.

Nobody else had Andrew Armstrong anywhere near the Round 7 slot. The Saints did, by 46 spots, and that gap is the whole story. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a bell-cow for the offense. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A tidy little value on Jihaad Campbell in slot 40, a step better than break-even. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick71 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
A real head-scratcher, Dylan Fairchild in the 71st overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick93 Rnd3 Savion Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Savion Williams at the 93rd pick, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick112 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
A conviction pick on Nohl Williams at No. 112 that the board grades a round light. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Tyler Shough
They paid up for Tyler Shough at pick No. 131 when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick184 Rnd6 CJ West
They took CJ West at par in No. 184, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick248 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
They jumped the gun on Torricelli Simpkins III, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick254 Rnd7 Andrew Armstrong
A big swing on Andrew Armstrong at the Round 7 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
