FutureB
The Saints did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. The Saints torched the value chart for Joe Milton III, taking him 32 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
They banked enough surplus on Coleman to cover a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.
The Saints paired the rookies with proven help, Sam Hubbard leading the way. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick14
Rnd1
Dallas Turner
In the 14th pick they get a problem off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick64
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman at the 64th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick95
Rnd3
Trey Benson
Trey Benson at slot 95 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick133
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at No. 133 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick149
Rnd5
Kalen King
Value with a capital V on Kalen King in the Round 5 slot, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick167
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Joe Milton III. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick169
Rnd5
Javion Cohen
They took Javion Cohen at par in Round 5, Pick 33, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick174
Rnd5
Zion Tupuola-Fetui
They reached a country mile for Zion Tupuola-Fetui at the 174th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick192
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
By-the-book stuff, Curtis Jacobs at No. 192 squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick201
Rnd6
Daequan Hardy
A clean, defensible pick in the 201st pick with a little surplus value in Daequan Hardy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick216
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at slot 216 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick230
Rnd7
Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee at pick No. 230 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick243
Rnd7
Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace at the Round 7 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick251
Rnd7
Sheridan Jones
Steal is underselling it; Sheridan Jones at pick 251 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
