Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureC+
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Saints and Restrepo: B-.

The Saints did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Xavier Restrepo fell into the Round 3 slot.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Every board in the league had Turner lower, and that gap is the story.

The skill positions did well by the weekend.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the 9th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
No drama and no debate, Jihaad Campbell went about where he belonged in pick No. 40. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick71 Rnd3 Shemar Turner
A reach for Shemar Turner in slot 71; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick93 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo in Round 3, Pick 29 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick98 Rnd3 Isaiah Bond
Taking Isaiah Bond in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick131 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
A reasonable price with a little left over, Nohl Williams in No. 131. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick194 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens in the 194th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
