Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in the 136th overall pick: the Saints steal Jackson and grade out a B.

The board owed the Saints one, and it paid up: Khyree Jackson, the No. 111 name on the board, sitting there at the 136th overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They will need Monheim to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In No. 14 they get a disruptor off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton in pick 45 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick136 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Circle this one: Khyree Jackson at slot 136 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Austin Booker
A conviction pick on Austin Booker at Round 5, Pick 16 that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jasheen Davis
No edge and no loss on Jasheen Davis in the 170th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick176 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
They paid up for Nathan Thomas at the Round 6 slot when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jonah Monheim
They reached into another round for Jonah Monheim, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They paid a round early for Jared Wiley in the 205th overall pick, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
