Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Saints: B.

The Saints bet big and early on RJ Harvey, 53 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick 9 they get a building block for the line at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Trey Amos
Trey Amos in pick No. 40 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick71 Rnd3 Bradyn Swinson
Bradyn Swinson slipping to the 71st pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick93 Rnd3 Barrett Carter
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Barrett Carter in Round 3, Pick 29. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick112 Rnd4 RJ Harvey
RJ Harvey in slot 112 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
They went early on Jackson Slater in the 131st overall pick, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick184 Rnd6 Vernon Broughton
A straight-up fair deal on Vernon Broughton at No. 184, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick248 Rnd7 Ahmed Hassanein
A quiet steal in the 248th overall pick: Ahmed Hassanein for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick254 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
A tidy bit of business in slot 254, where Mac McWilliams graded well above the range. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
