Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueC NeedB TradesA- FutureA
The Saints checked most of the boxes and earned a B.

The Saints bet big and early on John Emery Jr., 168 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

The Kinchens steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

The Darren Waller deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick45 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens at Round 2, Pick 13 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick47 Rnd2 J.J. McCarthy
J.J. McCarthy in the 47th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick70 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick136 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Fair-plus on Javon Foster, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick143 Rnd5 Layden Robinson
They liked Layden Robinson enough to skip the value, taking him in the 143rd pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in No. 152 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick170 Rnd5 Bru McCoy
Bru McCoy at slot 170 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick191 Rnd6 John Emery Jr.
John Emery Jr. at the 191st pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick192 Rnd6 Sav'ell Smalls
They reached into another round for Sav'ell Smalls, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick205 Rnd6 Jalen Kimber
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen Kimber this early at No. 205. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick214 Rnd6 Omar Speights
Omar Speights in the 214th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
