Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Larceny in pick 142 lands the Saints a B+, Johnson and all.

If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Saints, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Johnson pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick10 Rnd1 Arvell Reese
In the 10th pick they get a three-down second-level presence. Need was not the driver here.
Pick27 Rnd1 Mansoor Delane
A tidy little value on Mansoor Delane in pick No. 27, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick35 Rnd2 Isaiah World
They paid sticker price for Isaiah World in the 35th overall pick, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick38 Rnd2 KC Concepcion
KC Concepcion at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick66 Rnd3 A'Mauri Washington
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on A'Mauri Washington. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Charles Jagusah
Good price on Charles Jagusah in No. 131, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick137 Rnd4 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg at No. 137 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick142 Rnd5 Chris Johnson
You do not let a cornerback like Chris Johnson reach Round 5, Pick 2 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick146 Rnd5 CJ Baxter
By-the-book stuff, CJ Baxter at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick171 Rnd5 Isaac Smith
Isaac Smith at pick No. 171 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
