Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB- NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints robbed the room for Jackson. Final grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Khyree Jackson got past him. The Saints do not have to explain a thing at pick 150.

They are betting Robinson proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Jared Verse
Jared Verse at Round 1, Pick 13 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick46 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at pick No. 46 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim in the 136th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick150 Rnd5 Khyree Jackson
A cornerback of that caliber at pick 150 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Tre Harris
A clean, defensible pick in No. 170 with a little surplus value in Tre Harris. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick176 Rnd6 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in the Round 6 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at the 191st overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick206 Rnd6 Steve Linton
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Steve Linton. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
