Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueC+ NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Saints a B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jahfari Harvey at the 254th overall pick, a reach of 227 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

That Simon pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Adding Dax Hill by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick17 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a home-run threat at receiver at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon in pick No. 40 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick49 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
Xavier Watts in pick 49 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick71 Rnd3 David Walker
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for David Walker. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick93 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They took Charles Grant at par in Round 3, Pick 29, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick110 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cam Skattebo in slot 110. The roster fit checks out.
Pick129 Rnd4 Chase Lundt
They left a pile of value on the table to take Chase Lundt this early at pick No. 129. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick182 Rnd6 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in the 182nd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick251 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They reached into another round for Thor Griffith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jahfari Harvey
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jahfari Harvey well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
