Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesD FutureB+
The Saints got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the B-.

The war room fell hard for Nohl Williams, and it showed at the 185th overall pick: 94 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Bowman Jr.. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Spending an early pick on linebacker with quarterback open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 16th overall pick they get a three-down runner, outstanding value to boot. A real need, handled.
Pick17 Rnd1 Grey Zabel
In pick 17 they get a blindside protector, reach and all. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
They reached a country mile for Donovan Ezeiruaku at the Round 2 slot, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
A linebacker of that caliber at No. 76 is the definition of value, full stop. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick93 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
They barely believed it either: Andrew Mukuba still on the board at pick No. 93. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick111 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at the 111th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick114 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
They will replay Mason Taylor at the 114th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick115 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Demetrius Knight Jr. adds a linebacker and leaves quarterback untouched.
Pick116 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Value with a capital V on Cam Skattebo in pick 116, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick130 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
A big swing on Ty Robinson at No. 130, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick150 Rnd5 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin in the 150th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick153 Rnd5 Cobee Bryant
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cobee Bryant in pick No. 153, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick176 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in Round 5, Pick 37 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick178 Rnd5 Oronde Gadsden II
Circle this one: Oronde Gadsden II at slot 178 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick185 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
A wild overpay on Nohl Williams in No. 185, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick186 Rnd6 KeAndre Lambert-Smith
A conviction pick on KeAndre Lambert-Smith at the 186th pick that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick193 Rnd6 Bhayshul Tuten
Bhayshul Tuten in pick No. 193 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick199 Rnd6 LaJohntay Wester
LaJohntay Wester at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick203 Rnd6 RJ Harvey
A top-tier running back at a bargain, RJ Harvey in slot 203, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Billy Bowman Jr.
Taking Billy Bowman Jr. in pick 204 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
