Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints cashed the board's mistake on Warren: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Tyler Warren, the Round 2 slot, roughly 25 picks past where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Offensive lineman is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a workhorse for the backfield. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the 40th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick71 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins slipping to pick No. 71 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Taking Jack Bech in slot 93 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick112 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild is a better player than the Round 4 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at the 131st overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick184 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Fair-plus on Ajani Cornelius, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick248 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
They will replay Craig Woodson at No. 248 for years; that is how good the value is. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick254 Rnd7 Shemar James
Shemar James at No. 254 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
