Draft Grade — Saints
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB- TradesA FutureA
Skattebo should have been long gone. The Saints pounced, and earned a A-.

Call it larceny. Cam Skattebo sat on the board until pick 190, and the Saints did not need to be asked twice.

The Saints indulged a want in Knight Jr. while a need in edge rusher, cornerback and other spots stayed open. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If Webb pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
In No. 12 they get a mismatch in the passing game. A real need, handled.
Pick64 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in the 64th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick71 Rnd3 Xavier Watts
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Xavier Watts in Round 3, Pick 7, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick102 Rnd4 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at pick 102 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick111 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Demetrius Knight Jr. at linebacker with edge rusher, cornerback and other spots open.
Pick121 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Andrew Mukuba while clear needs at edge rusher, cornerback and other spots sat open.
Pick130 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at the 130th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick150 Rnd5 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at slot 150 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jared Wilson
Circle this one: Jared Wilson at No. 186 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick190 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
You do not let a running back like Cam Skattebo reach pick No. 190 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick210 Rnd6 Lander Barton
They barely believed it either: Lander Barton still on the board at the Round 6 slot. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick241 Rnd7 Clay Webb
A reach for Clay Webb in slot 241; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick254 Rnd7 Logan Parr
They paid sticker price for Logan Parr in Round 7, Pick 36, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
