Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Saints for Jackson: B.

The Saints spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Ja'Quinden Jackson, the No. 224 name on the board, in the 254th overall pick.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. If Peebles pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
They paid up for JT Tuimoloau at the 40th pick when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick45 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
No drama and no debate, Josaiah Stewart went about where he belonged in the 45th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick71 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at pick 71 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick93 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ozzy Trapilo at slot 93 is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
They read the board right and Tez Johnson was the payoff at No. 112. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick117 Rnd4 Aeneas Peebles
Aeneas Peebles at the Round 4 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick131 Rnd4 Dillon Gabriel
Fair-plus on Dillon Gabriel, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jack Kiser
A tidy little value on Jack Kiser in No. 184, a step better than break-even. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris at the Round 7 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick248 Rnd7 Hayden Conner
Hayden Conner in the 248th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick254 Rnd7 Ja'Quinden Jackson
Taking Ja'Quinden Jackson in Round 7, Pick 38 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
