Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Saints: B.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Saints spent the 204th overall pick on Reuben Fatheree II, a name the board had a full 28 spots lower. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They banked enough surplus on Jackson to cover a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In slot 13 they get juice off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
They took Jordan Morgan at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick136 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in pick No. 136 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick150 Rnd5 Khyree Jackson
A cornerback of that caliber at the 150th pick is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170 Rnd5 T.J. Sanders
T.J. Sanders in the 170th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick176 Rnd6 Tre Harris
Tre Harris in No. 176 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick191 Rnd6 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in slot 191 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick204 Rnd6 Reuben Fatheree II
Reuben Fatheree II at No. 204 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
