Draft Grade — Saints

ValueB NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Saints this weekend: D.

The Saints treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending Round 6, Pick 27 on J.J. Weaver a full 189 spots early.

On value alone, Henderson makes the weekend a net positive. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.

The Winston Jr. pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In No. 9 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in Round 2, Pick 8 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick51 Rnd2 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in the 51st overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick102 Rnd4 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in pick No. 102 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick111 Rnd4 Savion Williams
A quiet steal in slot 111: Savion Williams for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick128 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at the 128th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick130 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
A curious use of the Round 4 slot. Quarterback needed the pick; a safety in Kevin Winston Jr. did not.
Pick168 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in No. 168 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick176 Rnd5 Jake Majors
The board fumbled Jake Majors all the way to slot 176, and they scooped it up. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick205 Rnd6 J.J. Weaver
They left a pile of value on the table to take J.J. Weaver this early at the 205th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick247 Rnd7 Gentry Williams
This one needs a full-page explanation: Gentry Williams in pick No. 247, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick254 Rnd7 Julian Fleming
Julian Fleming at Round 7, Pick 36 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick256 Rnd7 Jaishawn Barham
They will replay Jaishawn Barham at pick 256 for years; that is how good the value is. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick257 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith in Round 7, Pick 39 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
