Draft Grade — Saints
Overall A-
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB FutureA
The Saints won the night they stopped Fairchild from sliding. Grade: A-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Saints watched Dylan Fairchild slide 184 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Ed Ingram gives the group a proven body among the projects.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Emery Jones Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick44 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty at the 44th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jack Sawyer
Somehow Jack Sawyer was still sitting there in No. 76, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick119 Rnd4 Garrett Nussmeier
Garrett Nussmeier at pick 119 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick146 Rnd5 Xavier Restrepo
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 146 is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick154 Rnd5 Jordan Hancock
Taking Jordan Hancock in the 154th pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick155 Rnd5 Tre Harris
Steal is underselling it; Tre Harris at slot 155 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick208 Rnd6 Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick251 Rnd7 Dylan Fairchild
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Dylan Fairchild in Round 7, Pick 37, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
