Draft Grade — Saints

FutureC
Larceny in the 131st overall pick lands the Saints a C, Ransom and all. The Saints did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Lathan Ransom fell into pick 131. Call it a C and check back in two years.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They will answer for taking linebacker early while quarterback and tight end went begging. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.
So much rides on Shemar Stewart that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick20
Rnd1
Shemar Stewart
Nothing to complain about; Shemar Stewart went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick40
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
A reach on JT Tuimoloau in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick41
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at slot 41 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick51
Rnd2
Wyatt Milum
Wyatt Milum at Round 2, Pick 19 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick52
Rnd2
Trey Amos
No drama and no debate, Trey Amos went about where he belonged in pick 52. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
A want over a need in the 71st pick: Carson Schwesinger adds a linebacker while quarterback and tight end keeps waiting.
Pick92
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
A quiet steal in No. 92: Andrew Mukuba for less than the market said. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick93
Rnd3
Isaiah Bond
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Isaiah Bond in the 93rd overall pick, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick112
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips at the Round 4 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick131
Rnd4
Lathan Ransom
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick No. 131 on Lathan Ransom with quarterback and tight end unsolved.
Pick184
Rnd6
DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens at No. 184 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Pick232
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
They took Isaac TeSlaa at par in slot 232, which is nothing to complain about. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick248
Rnd7
Tonka Hemingway
Tonka Hemingway at the 248th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
