Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints let White III fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

Call it larceny. Ricky White III sat on the board until slot 254, and the Saints did not need to be asked twice.

They are betting Slater proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in pick No. 40 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
Pick71 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A premium they did not need to pay, Deone Walker a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick93 Rnd3 Shemar Turner
The board had Shemar Turner higher than slot 93, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
They talked themselves into Jackson Slater at No. 112, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick131 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in the 131st pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick184 Rnd6 Ryan Fitzgerald
They barely believed it either: Ryan Fitzgerald still on the board at pick 184. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick248 Rnd7 Davin Vann
They reached a country mile for Davin Vann at Round 7, Pick 32, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick254 Rnd7 Ricky White III
Circle this one: Ricky White III at the 254th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
