Draft Grade — Saints
Overall C+
ValueD NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Burnip should have been long gone. The Saints pounced, and earned a C+.

You could see the war room lean forward. James Burnip at slot 254 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

They are betting Walker proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

So much rides on JT Tuimoloau that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 JT Tuimoloau
In pick 9 they get a double-digit-sack hope, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Deone Walker
A real head-scratcher, Deone Walker in slot 40 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick71 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
No drama and no debate, Tate Ratledge went about where he belonged in the 71st overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick93 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
A clean, defensible pick in the 93rd pick with a little surplus value in Danny Stutsman. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick112 Rnd4 Dorian Strong
They paid a round early for Dorian Strong in Round 4, Pick 10, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick131 Rnd4 Chimere Dike
Circle this one: Chimere Dike at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick184 Rnd6 Woody Marks
A conviction pick on Woody Marks at No. 184 that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick248 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
They liked Tonka Hemingway enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 248. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick254 Rnd7 James Burnip
James Burnip at Round 7, Pick 38 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
