Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Nobody dealt better than the Saints this weekend: B.

The Saints looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Paris Shand at the 248th overall pick regardless, 110 picks early.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. They punted on cornerback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. However the rest shakes out, Shough at that price is a win they earned.

The Grover Stewart deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Tyler Warren
No drama and no debate, Tyler Warren went about where he belonged in pick No. 14. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick40 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka slid further than he should have, and the 40th pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick45 Rnd2 Cam Skattebo
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cam Skattebo this early at pick 45. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick71 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild at the 71st overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick93 Rnd3 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at No. 93 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick112 Rnd4 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at Round 4, Pick 10 is money in the bank, a quarterback taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick117 Rnd4 Ty Hamilton
A premium they did not need to pay, Ty Hamilton a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick131 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
They paid up for Emery Jones Jr. at pick 131 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick184 Rnd6 Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at pick No. 184 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick232 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick248 Rnd7 Paris Shand
They talked themselves into Paris Shand at the 248th overall pick, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick254 Rnd7 Gino Garcia
Gino Garcia at slot 254 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
