Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Saints.

For all the names on the card, the loudest question went unanswered. The Saints walked out of the weekend still thin at quarterback, a hole that has a way of deciding seasons. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The Thornton Jr. pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Parrish has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 James Pearce Jr.
James Pearce Jr. in No. 9 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
A straight-up fair deal on Jonah Savaiinaea at pick No. 40, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick71 Rnd3 Maxwell Hairston
They took Maxwell Hairston at par in slot 71, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick93 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kevin Winston Jr.. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jacob Parrish
A conviction pick on Jacob Parrish at the Round 4 slot that the board grades a round light. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
A tidy little value on Jeffrey Bassa in pick 131, a step better than break-even. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick184 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Nice patience on Dont'e Thornton Jr., who had no business lasting to the 184th pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
