Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA- FutureB-
The Saints let Jackson fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Ja'Quinden Jackson got past him. The Saints do not have to explain a thing at Round 5, Pick 16. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

Turner has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Emeka Egbuka
In pick No. 13 they get a true top target. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea in the Round 2 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Tyleik Williams
Tyleik Williams at Round 3, Pick 11 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick112 Rnd4 Shemar Turner
A big swing on Shemar Turner at the 112th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick119 Rnd4 Billy Bowman Jr.
Billy Bowman Jr. in the 119th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick154 Rnd5 Ja'Quinden Jackson
Steal is underselling it; Ja'Quinden Jackson at pick 154 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171 Rnd5 Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Jamon Dumas-Johnson at No. 171 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick251 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
A reasonable price with a little left over, Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson in slot 251. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
