The Saints let Eichenberg fall into their laps, and walked away with a D. The trade table was where it all came apart. The Saints shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill.
If Jones pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
The Eichenberg value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and running back is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick6
Rnd1
Malik Nabers
In the 6th overall pick they get a No. 1 receiver at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39
Rnd2
J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy at No. 39 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick45
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at the 45th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick47
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in pick 47 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick149
Rnd5
Roger Rosengarten
Nothing to complain about; Roger Rosengarten went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick167
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at slot 167 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick169
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
Nice patience on Dallin Holker, who had no business lasting to Round 5, Pick 33. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick174
Rnd5
Tommy Eichenberg
They barely believed it either: Tommy Eichenberg still on the board at pick 174. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick192
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Caedan Wallace in No. 192. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick201
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in slot 201 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230
Rnd7
Matthew Jones
Value said wait; Matthew Jones in the 230th overall pick says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
