The phones sank the Saints this weekend: D-. The rest of the league had time to spare on Que Robinson; the Saints did not wait, grabbing him 96 spots ahead at pick No. 154.
That Rourke pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.
They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In No. 9 they get a lead back with juice at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick20
Rnd1
Grey Zabel
In pick 20 they get a building block for the line, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40
Rnd2
Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren at the Round 2 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick76
Rnd3
Darien Porter
Darien Porter in the 76th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99
Rnd3
Kevin Winston Jr.
No drama and no debate, Kevin Winston Jr. went about where he belonged in the 99th pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick112
Rnd4
Savion Williams
The board fumbled Savion Williams all the way to slot 112, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick122
Rnd4
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 122nd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick131
Rnd4
Ty Robinson
They talked themselves into Ty Robinson at pick 131, and the board did not agree. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick154
Rnd5
Que Robinson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Que Robinson this early at pick No. 154. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick166
Rnd5
Oronde Gadsden II
A reach on Oronde Gadsden II in the Round 5 slot; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick184
Rnd6
Carson Vinson
They reached a country mile for Carson Vinson at No. 184, and the board is aghast. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick208
Rnd6
Clay Webb
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Clay Webb. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219
Rnd7
Kurtis Rourke
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Kurtis Rourke in Round 7, Pick 3, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick236
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
A big swing on Garrett Dellinger at the 236th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick246
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at pick 246 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick248
Rnd7
Fentrell Cypress II
Fentrell Cypress II in the 248th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
