FutureB-
Stutsman should have been long gone. The Saints pounced, and earned a D. The Saints clearly saw something nobody else did in Logan Brown, taking him 47 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Put together, it is a D.
The Stutsman value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.
They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In No. 9 they get a centerpiece for the ground game. A real need, handled.
Pick40
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
They let Emeka Egbuka come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick55
Rnd2
Deone Walker
Deone Walker at Round 2, Pick 23 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick56
Rnd2
Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey at slot 56 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick57
Rnd2
Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. at slot 57 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick93
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
Steal is underselling it; Andrew Mukuba at the 93rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick98
Rnd3
Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at pick No. 98 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick111
Rnd4
Logan Brown
Logan Brown at the Round 4 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick114
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cam Skattebo at the 114th pick is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick121
Rnd4
Mello Dotson
This one needs a full-page explanation: Mello Dotson in No. 121, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick152
Rnd5
Danny Stutsman
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 152 is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick153
Rnd5
Cody Simon
They read the board right and Cody Simon was the payoff at Round 5, Pick 16. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick197
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
The board fumbled Oronde Gadsden II all the way to pick 197, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick208
Rnd6
Miles Frazier
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Miles Frazier. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick229
Rnd7
Maxen Hook
They jumped the gun on Maxen Hook, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick235
Rnd7
Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
