Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B+
ValueA NeedB+ TradesB+ FutureB-
The Saints robbed the room for Harris. Final grade: B+.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Tre Harris got past him. The Saints do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 186.

The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In Round 1, Pick 14 they get a double-digit-sack hope, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
A tight end of that caliber at No. 40 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick45 Rnd2 Ashton Jeanty
They robbed the room for Ashton Jeanty here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick71 Rnd3 Walter Nolen
Steal is underselling it; Walter Nolen at the 71st overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick93 Rnd3 Wyatt Milum
You do not let an offensive lineman like Wyatt Milum reach pick No. 93 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart in pick 111 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick116 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
They will replay Malachi Moore at the 116th pick for years; that is how good the value is. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick130 Rnd4 Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick186 Rnd6 Tre Harris
Tre Harris at Round 6, Pick 8 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
Jarquez Hunter at the Round 7 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
