Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Torricelli Simpkins III at pick 248, a reach of 25 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Emmanwori falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In pick No. 9 they get juice off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They robbed the room for Nick Emmanwori here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick71 Rnd3 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at the 71st overall pick is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick93 Rnd3 Joshua Farmer
They left a pile of value on the table to take Joshua Farmer this early at pick 93. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick112 Rnd4 Chimere Dike
Chimere Dike at the Round 4 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick131 Rnd4 Kyle McCord
Nice patience on Kyle McCord, who had no business lasting to the 131st pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick184 Rnd6 Kalel Mullings
Taking Kalel Mullings in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick248 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III in the 248th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jeremy Crawshaw
By-the-book stuff, Jeremy Crawshaw at pick 254 squarely in line with his ranking. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
