Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B+
ValueC NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB
The Saints fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+.

The Quinn Ewers selection is the head-turner. The Saints reached 53 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

The Johnson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Quinn Ewers
A wild overpay on Quinn Ewers in pick No. 40, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
Pick71 Rnd3 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo at Round 3, Pick 7 is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick76 Rnd3 Dylan Sampson
The board had Dylan Sampson higher than the 76th pick, and the running back fell to them anyway. The roster fit checks out.
Pick93 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A tidy bit of business in pick 93, where Andrew Mukuba graded well above the range. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson at No. 112 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick131 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tez Johnson in slot 131, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Mitchell Evans
A straight-up fair deal on Mitchell Evans at pick 149, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick184 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
They took JJ Pegues at par in No. 184, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick248 Rnd7 Mac McWilliams
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 7 slot with a little surplus value in Mac McWilliams. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick254 Rnd7 Torricelli Simpkins III
Torricelli Simpkins III at the 254th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
