Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Saints: B-.

Some picks age like wine; Shilo Sanders at No. 184 will need to, sitting 88 spots clear of his grade. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Horton pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a three-down runner. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Nice patience on Derrick Harmon, who had no business lasting to pick 40. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick71 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the 71st pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jah Joyner
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jah Joyner well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick112 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the 112th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick131 Rnd4 Tory Horton
The board fumbled Tory Horton all the way to the Round 4 slot, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick184 Rnd6 Shilo Sanders
They reached into another round for Shilo Sanders, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
