Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Saints fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jackson Slater at pick No. 117, a reach of 35 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. Walker at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Grover Stewart gives the group a proven body among the projects.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Armand Membou
In pick No. 14 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
They read the board right and Jalon Walker was the payoff at pick 40. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick45 Rnd2 Nic Scourton
They took Nic Scourton at par in No. 45, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick71 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
They went early on Cam Skattebo in the 71st pick, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick93 Rnd3 Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers in slot 93 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick112 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
They paid sticker price for Terrance Ferguson in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater at slot 117 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick131 Rnd4 Cody Simon
No edge and no loss on Cody Simon in pick No. 131; it is a wash and a sensible one. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick184 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the 184th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick232 Rnd7 Cam Jackson
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cam Jackson. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jaylin Smith
Jaylin Smith at the Round 7 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick254 Rnd7 LaJohntay Wester
LaJohntay Wester in No. 254 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
