Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Trevor Etienne; the Saints did not wait, grabbing him 32 spots ahead at Round 4, Pick 10. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Landing Hancock that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Quantity was the play, for better or worse.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In slot 9 they get a potential shutdown corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
Taking Walter Nolen in the 40th pick is close to grand larceny; an interior defensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel is a better player than pick 71 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick93 Rnd3 David Walker
They paid a round early for David Walker in No. 93, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112 Rnd4 Trevor Etienne
Trevor Etienne in pick No. 112 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick136 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
Hollin Pierce at the 136th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jake Briningstool
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jake Briningstool in pick No. 184. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick218 Rnd7 Karene Reid
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Karene Reid at the 218th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick242 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
Steal is underselling it; Jordan Hancock at the Round 7 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick248 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
A reach for Torricelli Simpkins III in No. 248; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick254 Rnd7 Davin Vann
Davin Vann at Round 7, Pick 38 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
