Draft Grade — Saints
Overall A-
ValueA NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Saints for Sanders: A-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. T.J. Sanders tumbling to the Saints in slot 232 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. The sum of the weekend is a deserved A-.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Adding Grover Stewart by trade rounds out the weekend beyond the rookies.

In the end it comes back to Ashton Jeanty, and a haul good enough to build on right away.

Pick Analysis
Pick14 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
They let Ashton Jeanty come to them and pounced at pick 14. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick40 Rnd2 Matthew Golden
Taking Matthew Golden in the 40th pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jaxson Dart
Jaxson Dart at Round 2, Pick 13 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick71 Rnd3 Bradyn Swinson
Nice patience on Bradyn Swinson, who had no business lasting to slot 71. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
The board fumbled Jihaad Campbell all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick112 Rnd4 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon in pick No. 112 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick117 Rnd4 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at No. 117 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Armand Membou
They barely believed it either: Armand Membou still on the board at the 131st overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick184 Rnd6 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. slipping to pick 184 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick232 Rnd7 T.J. Sanders
Somehow T.J. Sanders was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
