Draft Grade — Saints
Overall C+
ValueB- NeedB TradesC- FutureB-
The jury is out on the Saints. For now, C+.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Nohl Williams; the Saints did not wait, grabbing him 105 spots ahead at No. 155. The final tally is a middling C+.

That Kiser pick is the receipt they will wave around later. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

If Ashton Jeanty and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a three-down runner at fair value.
Pick40 Rnd2 Josaiah Stewart
The board had cheaper options than Josaiah Stewart at the 40th overall pick, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick71 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Deone Walker at pick 71 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. in the 93rd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick111 Rnd4 Jaylin Noel
Jaylin Noel is a better player than pick No. 111 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick114 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo slipping to the Round 4 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick115 Rnd4 Chase Lundt
Chase Lundt in slot 115 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick135 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at Round 4, Pick 34 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick155 Rnd5 Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at pick No. 155 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick159 Rnd5 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at the 159th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick177 Rnd5 Cody Simon
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 177 is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick186 Rnd6 Maxen Hook
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Maxen Hook well ahead of where he belonged. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Circle this one: Jack Kiser at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
