Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B+
ValueA- NeedB- TradesA+ FutureB+
The Saints won the night they stopped Skattebo from sliding. Grade: B+.

Call it larceny. Cam Skattebo sat on the board until slot 193, and the Saints did not need to be asked twice.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They are betting Ratledge proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The hoard sets up next April more than it helps this September.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Malaki Starks
In slot 20 they get a ballhawk on the back end, outstanding value to boot. Need was not the driver here.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Circle this one: Tyler Warren at the 40th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick51 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Value said wait; Tate Ratledge in No. 51 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick71 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
They will replay Kaleb Johnson at Round 3, Pick 7 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick85 Rnd3 Tre Harris
Somehow Tre Harris was still sitting there in the 85th pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick93 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
They did well to land Donovan Jackson in pick No. 93, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick111 Rnd4 Dylan Fairchild
Dylan Fairchild slid further than he should have, and the Round 4 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick130 Rnd4 Luke Kandra
Luke Kandra at pick 130 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick170 Rnd5 Barrett Carter
They barely believed it either: Barrett Carter still on the board at the 170th overall pick. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick172 Rnd5 Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jackson Slater
Jackson Slater in slot 186 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick193 Rnd6 Cam Skattebo
You do not let a running back like Cam Skattebo reach No. 193 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in pick 254 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
