Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB+ FutureB-
The Saints did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The Saints clearly saw something nobody else did in Jack Nelson, taking him 28 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Nolen pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In No. 14 they get a weapon on the perimeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Circle this one: Walter Nolen at the 40th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at slot 45 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick93 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Andrew Mukuba at pick 93 is the proof. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick112 Rnd4 Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in pick No. 112 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick131 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
The board had Terrance Ferguson higher than pick No. 131, and the tight end fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick151 Rnd5 Jack Nelson
They reached a country mile for Jack Nelson at No. 151, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick184 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in Round 6, Pick 8 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick248 Rnd7 Theo Wease Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Theo Wease Jr. in the 248th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick254 Rnd7 Roc Taylor
Roc Taylor in the 254th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
