Draft Grade — Saints

ValueB+ NeedB TradesC FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Saints and Hunter: B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jarquez Hunter got past him. The Saints do not have to explain a thing at No. 254.

Robinson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ashton Jeanty in pick 9. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick40 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Somehow Nick Emmanwori was still sitting there in the 40th overall pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick71 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick83 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in Round 3, Pick 19 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at the 93rd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick130 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ty Robinson well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick186 Rnd6 Cobee Bryant
A slide stopped in No. 186, with Cobee Bryant worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
Circle this one: Jarquez Hunter at slot 254 is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
