Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesA+ FutureB-
The Saints let Harris fall and pounced. Final grade: B+.

The Saints ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.

However the rest shakes out, Harris at that price is a win they earned. A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want. The cost of the Randolph Jr. reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick18 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick 18 they get a bendy edge with upside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick46 Rnd2 Javon Foster
They liked Javon Foster enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 2, Pick 14. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick50 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in No. 50 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick118 Rnd4 Junior Colson
Junior Colson in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick136 Rnd4 Malik Mustapha
They paid up for Malik Mustapha at the 136th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick150 Rnd5 McCallan Castles
McCallan Castles at the 150th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
Pick170 Rnd5 Braden Fiske
No drama and no debate, Braden Fiske went about where he belonged in pick No. 170. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick176 Rnd6 Keith Randolph Jr.
A reach for Keith Randolph Jr. in the 176th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick191 Rnd6 Tre Harris
Circle this one: Tre Harris at pick 191 is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick206 Rnd6 Anthony Belton
A premium they did not need to pay, Anthony Belton a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
