Draft Grade — Saints
Overall F
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureD-
The Saints reached for Turner III and never recovered. Grade: F.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Saints started one anyway for Charles Turner III, 60 picks ahead of schedule.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Colson. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

Bottom line, it will take a lot of luck to make this look better later.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze at the Round 1 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
A conviction pick on Chris Braswell at pick 36 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick45 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Somehow Amarius Mims was still sitting there in the 45th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick52 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Xavier Worthy. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick78 Rnd3 Junior Colson
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 78 is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick83 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zak Zinter in pick No. 83, miles early. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick114 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
They paid sticker price for Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick170 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey at the 170th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick194 Rnd6 Johnny Dixon
A reasonable price with a little left over, Johnny Dixon in pick 194. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick238 Rnd7 Charles Turner III
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Charles Turner III well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick239 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at Round 7, Pick 19 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick252 Rnd7 Josh Wallace
Josh Wallace at the 252nd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
