Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Saints: B-.

The Saints put a flag in the ground for Davin Vann, 124 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

The Johnson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped cornerback, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In No. 9 they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
They read the board right and Derrick Harmon was the payoff at slot 40. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Tyler Baron
A reach for Tyler Baron in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick93 Rnd3 Luke Kandra
Value said wait; Luke Kandra in pick 93 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick111 Rnd4 Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty at pick No. 111 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick130 Rnd4 Davin Vann
A wild overpay on Davin Vann in Round 4, Pick 29, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick186 Rnd6 Tez Johnson
Circle this one: Tez Johnson at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick254 Rnd7 Antwane Wells Jr.
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 254 is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
