Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick 184: the Saints steal Barron and grade out a B.

You build a draft on nights like this. Jahdae Barron had no business being available in slot 184, and the Saints did the only sane thing and turned in the card. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In the 9th overall pick they get a potential shutdown corner, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, Walter Nolen in pick 40, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick71 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at slot 71 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick93 Rnd3 Armand Membou
Armand Membou at Round 3, Pick 29 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell in the 112th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick131 Rnd4 Bradyn Swinson
Steal is underselling it; Bradyn Swinson at pick No. 131 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jahdae Barron
Circle this one: Jahdae Barron at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
