Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the Round 7 slot lands the Saints a B, Shough and all.

Call it larceny. Tyler Shough sat on the board until No. 248, and the Saints did not need to be asked twice. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 9th pick they get a lead back with juice. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Somehow Nick Emmanwori was still sitting there in the 40th overall pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick71 Rnd3 JT Tuimoloau
A edge rusher of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 7 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick93 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
They let Jaylin Noel come to them and pounced at pick 112. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jordan Phillips
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Jordan Phillips in slot 131, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater at pick No. 184 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick248 Rnd7 Tyler Shough
They robbed the room for Tyler Shough here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick257 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
Craig Woodson in the 257th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
