Draft Grade — Saints
Overall D+
ValueC+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Saints to a D+.

The war room fell hard for Nohl Williams, and it showed at No. 133: 127 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Campbell at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a workhorse for the backfield at fair value.
Pick39 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in slot 39 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick50 Rnd2 Deone Walker
The board had cheaper options than Deone Walker at the 50th overall pick, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick80 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Value with a capital V on Andrew Mukuba in pick No. 80, a genuine coup. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick82 Rnd3 David Walker
A swing that ignored the value entirely, David Walker well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Circle this one: Jihaad Campbell at pick 93 is a fall that decides a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick98 Rnd3 Tez Johnson
Tez Johnson at No. 98 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick110 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Fair-plus on Cam Skattebo, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick113 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at Round 4, Pick 12 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick120 Rnd4 Chase Lundt
A wild overpay on Chase Lundt in the Round 4 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick125 Rnd4 Ty Robinson
They reached into another round for Ty Robinson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick133 Rnd4 Nohl Williams
A real head-scratcher, Nohl Williams in pick 133 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick137 Rnd4 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier in the 137th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick154 Rnd5 Cody Simon
Somehow Cody Simon was still sitting there in pick No. 154, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick251 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
A big swing on Trey Wedig at Round 7, Pick 35, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jake Briningstool
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Jake Briningstool in pick No. 254, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
