Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Saints: B-.

The tape said wait; the Saints did not. Nohl Williams went at the Round 6 slot, a good 64 picks before the board was ready.

The Warren pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered. The skill positions did well by the weekend.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get an every-down engine for the run game. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
You do not let a tight end like Tyler Warren reach pick 40 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick71 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Nice patience on Alfred Collins, who had no business lasting to No. 71. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick93 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A straight-up fair deal on Charles Grant at pick No. 93, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick111 Rnd4 David Walker
This one needs a full-page explanation: David Walker in the Round 4 slot, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick130 Rnd4 Cody Simon
No edge and no loss on Cody Simon in slot 130; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick192 Rnd6 Maxen Hook
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Maxen Hook well ahead of where he belonged. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick205 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nohl Williams this early at No. 205. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick216 Rnd6 Andrew Armstrong
Value said wait; Andrew Armstrong in pick 216 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick217 Rnd6 John Williams
They reached a country mile for John Williams at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
