Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in No. 254: the Saints steal Sanders and grade out a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let T.J. Sanders slide, and the Saints were the ones holding the card at pick 254. Highway robbery. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the 9th pick they get a lockdown presence outside at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
Ashton Jeanty at No. 40 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick71 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in slot 71 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick93 Rnd3 Tyler Booker
They robbed the room for Tyler Booker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick111 Rnd4 Nick Emmanwori
They will replay Nick Emmanwori at pick No. 111 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick130 Rnd4 Walter Nolen
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Walter Nolen in Round 4, Pick 29, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
No drama and no debate, Dont'e Thornton Jr. went about where he belonged in pick 186. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick254 Rnd7 T.J. Sanders
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like T.J. Sanders reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
