Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Saints.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Akheem Mesidor, 80 picks early at pick 253. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Hampton steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped offensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a run-stuffing presence up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Warren at the 40th pick squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick71 Rnd3 Omarion Hampton
Circle this one: Omarion Hampton at pick 71 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick90 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick111 Rnd4 Malachi Moore
Taking Malachi Moore in pick No. 111 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick128 Rnd4 Will Howard
No edge and no loss on Will Howard in No. 128; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick183 Rnd6 Ricardo Hallman
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ricardo Hallman in pick 183, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick253 Rnd7 Akheem Mesidor
A big swing on Akheem Mesidor at the 253rd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
