Draft Grade — Saints
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Saints to a D.

The Saints looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Nathaniel Watson at pick No. 200 regardless, 31 picks early.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

The Tyjae Spears pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In pick No. 9 they get protection for the quarterback. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Xavier Worthy
By-the-book stuff, Xavier Worthy at the 45th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick106 Rnd4 Marshawn Kneeland
They paid sticker price for Marshawn Kneeland in pick 106, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick122 Rnd4 James Williams
James Williams at No. 122 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick136 Rnd4 Edefuan Ulofoshio
They went early on Edefuan Ulofoshio in the 136th pick, and the value did not follow. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick152 Rnd5 Austin Booker
Austin Booker in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
A conviction pick on Isaiah Davis at slot 170 that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick176 Rnd6 Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at pick No. 176 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick192 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
No edge and no loss on Jared Wiley in No. 192; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick200 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at pick 200 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
