Draft Grade — Saints
Overall C+
ValueD NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints did enough to get by: C+.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Saints would have aced it. Dijon Johnson at the Round 4 slot is 479 spots clear of where he belonged. The final tally is a middling C+.

The Duff pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Jordan Seaton
In No. 8 they get a cornerstone up front. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick39 Rnd2 Emmanuel Oyebadejo
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Emmanuel Oyebadejo well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick72 Rnd3 Devan Thompkins
They paid sticker price for Devan Thompkins in pick 72, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick109 Rnd4 Dijon Johnson
Dijon Johnson at the 109th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick147 Rnd5 KJ Duff
They robbed the room for KJ Duff here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick180 Rnd6 James Peoples
This one needs a full-page explanation: James Peoples in the 180th overall pick, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
