Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB- TradesA- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Saints a B.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Saints shredded theirs for Elijhah Badger. He came off 41 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

On value alone, Walker makes the weekend a net positive. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In pick No. 14 they get a moveable chess piece at tight end at fair value.
Pick40 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in slot 40 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Value with a capital V on Jihaad Campbell in the 45th pick, a genuine coup. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick72 Rnd3 Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in No. 72 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Savion Williams
They paid sticker price for Savion Williams in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick112 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
A quiet steal in pick 112: Dylan Fairchild for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick117 Rnd4 Deone Walker
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 117 is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick131 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong slipping to pick 131 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick148 Rnd5 Tyler Shough
They did well to land Tyler Shough in No. 148, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at the 184th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick248 Rnd7 Nick Martin
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nick Martin this early at the 248th overall pick. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick254 Rnd7 Elijhah Badger
Elijhah Badger at slot 254 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
