Draft Grade — Saints
Overall A
ValueA+ NeedB- TradesA+ FutureA+
Grand theft in No. 118: the Saints steal Scott and grade out a A.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Justin Scott tumbling to the Saints in Round 4, Pick 18 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. A whole weekend of picks and running back is somehow still a want.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Leonard Moore and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick42 Rnd2 Leonard Moore
Leonard Moore in Round 2, Pick 10 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick50 Rnd2 Suntarine Perkins
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Suntarine Perkins in the 50th overall pick, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick54 Rnd2 PJ Williams
PJ Williams in pick 54 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick73 Rnd3 Will Echoles
They barely believed it either: Will Echoles still on the board at the Round 3 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick98 Rnd3 Omarion Miller
You do not let a wide receiver like Omarion Miller reach pick No. 98 and blink. They did not. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick118 Rnd4 Justin Scott
Justin Scott at the 118th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick132 Rnd4 Trinidad Chambliss
Trinidad Chambliss at slot 132 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick136 Rnd4 Iapani Laloulu
Circle this one: Iapani Laloulu at No. 136 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick148 Rnd5 Corey Myrick
They will replay Corey Myrick at No. 148 for years; that is how good the value is. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick170 Rnd5 Kam Robinson
Somehow Kam Robinson was still sitting there in the 170th overall pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A pick in search of a role on this roster.
