LAMARK DRAFTING FOR THESaints

Draft Grade — Saints
Overall

FutureB-
The Saints kept it disciplined and banked a B. Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Saints spent the Round 6 slot on Robert Longerbeam, a name the board had a full 38 spots lower.
That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Tyler Warren
In the Round 1 slot they get a security blanket over the middle at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
The board had Jalon Walker higher than pick No. 40, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick45
Rnd2
Derrick Harmon
Value with a capital V on Derrick Harmon in slot 45, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick71
Rnd3
Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers at Round 3, Pick 7 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick93
Rnd3
Charles Grant
Fair-plus on Charles Grant, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick112
Rnd4
Kyle Williams
A reach on Kyle Williams in the 112th pick; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick131
Rnd4
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland at pick No. 131 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick151
Rnd5
Emery Jones Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Emery Jones Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick184
Rnd6
Jaydon Blue
Jaydon Blue at Round 6, Pick 8 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick189
Rnd6
Robert Longerbeam
Robert Longerbeam in pick 189 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick248
Rnd7
Ja'Corey Brooks
Ja'Corey Brooks at No. 248 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick254
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at the 254th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
