Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints let Latham fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: JC Latham, Round 2, Pick 13, roughly 27 picks past where he belonged.

They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. The Jefferson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In No. 14 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 JC Latham
JC Latham at slot 45 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick149 Rnd5 James Williams
They let James Williams come to them and pounced at the 149th pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick167 Rnd5 Jaylen Wright
They did well to land Jaylen Wright in pick 167, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
A big swing on Jordan Jefferson at pick No. 169, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick174 Rnd5 Michael Barrett
They went early on Michael Barrett in the 174th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick192 Rnd6 Ethan Driskell
No drama and no debate, Ethan Driskell went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 17. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick200 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in the Round 6 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
