Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in No. 185 lands the Saints a B, Henderson and all.

The Saints did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and TreVeyon Henderson fell into the 185th overall pick. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The cost of the Mesidor reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the 10th overall pick they get a wrecking ball inside. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the 42nd pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
The board fumbled Jihaad Campbell all the way to pick 74, and they scooped it up. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick90 Rnd3 Colston Loveland
Circle this one: Colston Loveland at slot 90 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
Pick111 Rnd4 Sebastian Castro
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Sebastian Castro in Round 4, Pick 10, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson in pick No. 128 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick185 Rnd6 TreVeyon Henderson
A running back of that caliber at the Round 6 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick253 Rnd7 Akheem Mesidor
A real head-scratcher, Akheem Mesidor in No. 253 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
