Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC FutureB+
The Saints kept it disciplined and banked a B.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Saints shredded theirs for David Walker. He came off 42 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

However the rest shakes out, Hunter at that price is a win they earned. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Ashton Jeanty at the 12th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick40 Rnd2 Colston Loveland
They will replay Colston Loveland at Round 2, Pick 8 for years; that is how good the value is. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick71 Rnd3 JT Tuimoloau
You do not let an edge rusher like JT Tuimoloau reach No. 71 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at the 93rd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick111 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore in the Round 4 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick130 Rnd4 David Walker
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for David Walker. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick186 Rnd6 Chase Lundt
They read the board right and Chase Lundt was the payoff at pick 186. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick211 Rnd6 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor is a better player than Round 6, Pick 33 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Jarquez Hunter in the 254th pick, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
