Draft Grade — Saints
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Saints this weekend: D-.

Some picks age like wine; Gentry Williams at the Round 6 slot will need to, sitting 96 spots clear of his grade.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. With quarterback unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

That Mukuba pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a bell-cow for the offense. A real need, handled.
Pick35 Rnd2 Tyler Booker
They took Tyler Booker at par in pick 35, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
They paid up for JT Tuimoloau at No. 40 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick62 Rnd2 Darien Porter
A reach for Darien Porter in Round 2, Pick 30; a little patience would have been rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick71 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A clean, defensible pick in slot 71 with a little surplus value in Deone Walker. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick101 Rnd3 Savion Williams
Savion Williams in the 101st pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick111 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Taking Andrew Mukuba in the 111th pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick121 Rnd4 Kevin Winston Jr.
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Kevin Winston Jr. in pick 121 leaves quarterback for later.
Pick130 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They talked themselves into Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick No. 130, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick133 Rnd4 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at No. 133 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick199 Rnd6 Gentry Williams
Value said wait; Gentry Williams in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick253 Rnd7 Micah Morris
A big swing on Micah Morris at Round 7, Pick 35, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jaishawn Barham
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 254 is the definition of value, full stop. A minor itch, scratched.
