Draft Grade — Saints
Overall C
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The Saints lost the trade table, and the C tells the story.

The war room fell hard for Antwaun Powell-Ryland, and it showed at the 71st overall pick: 90 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. A mixed bag that lands at C.

On value alone, Knight Jr. makes the weekend a net positive. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a centerpiece for the ground game. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
No edge and no loss on Tyler Booker in pick 40; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick71 Rnd3 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
This one needs a full-page explanation: Antwaun Powell-Ryland in slot 71, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick93 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
They barely believed it either: Harold Fannin Jr. still on the board at No. 93. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick97 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A safety of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 33 is the definition of value, full stop. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick98 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
The board had Tez Johnson higher than the 98th pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick99 Rnd3 Ty Robinson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Ty Robinson well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick114 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo is a better player than the 114th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick116 Rnd4 Chase Lundt
A big swing on Chase Lundt at pick 116, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick121 Rnd4 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in pick No. 121 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick152 Rnd5 Cody Simon
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cody Simon in Round 5, Pick 13. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick189 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick233 Rnd7 Andrew Armstrong
Andrew Armstrong at slot 233 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
