Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 138 lands the Saints a B, Johnson and all.

The board owed the Saints one, and it paid up: Tez Johnson, the No. 90 name on the board, sitting there at pick 138 like a gift left on the doorstep.

The Gadsden II reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. The phones were where this weekend was really won.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In pick 17 they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick18 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In the Round 1 slot they get a matchup problem out wide. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
A real head-scratcher, Donovan Ezeiruaku in slot 40 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick77 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, TreVeyon Henderson in No. 77, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick78 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Andrew Mukuba at the 78th overall pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick79 Rnd3 Charles Grant
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Charles Grant. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
They read the board right and Maxwell Hairston was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 29. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick105 Rnd4 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the 105th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick111 Rnd4 Cody Simon
A big swing on Cody Simon at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick138 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in Round 4, Pick 37 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick139 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Steal is underselling it; Cam Skattebo at the 139th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
