Draft Grade — Saints
Overall D
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Grand theft in the Round 6 slot: the Saints steal Thrash and grade out a D.

The Saints clearly saw something nobody else did in Jordan Travis, taking him 39 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Thrash.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick Analysis
Pick27 Rnd1 Keon Coleman
In pick 27 they get a true top target, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Kalen King
No drama and no debate, Kalen King went about where he belonged in the 46th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick60 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Brian Thomas Jr. graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
A slide stopped in the 66th pick, with Kingsley Suamataia worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
They took Sedrick Van Pran at par in the 76th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick85 Rnd3 TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick100 Rnd3 Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at pick No. 100 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick108 Rnd4 Donovan Jackson
They paid up for Donovan Jackson at the 108th pick when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick136 Rnd4 Jalen McMillan
Jalen McMillan is a better player than No. 136 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick138 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Fair-plus on Smael Mondon Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick150 Rnd5 Max Melton
Steal is underselling it; Max Melton at slot 150 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick176 Rnd6 Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at Round 6, Pick 1 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jacob Cowing
Jacob Cowing at the 180th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick191 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in slot 191 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick210 Rnd6 Jamari Thrash
Somehow Jamari Thrash was still sitting there in Round 6, Pick 35, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick229 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
They robbed the room for Jake Briningstool here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick255 Rnd7 Omar Speights
Circle this one: Omar Speights at the 255th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick256 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Walter Rouse at pick 256 is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
