Draft Grade — Saints
Overall F
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureD
Best value of the weekend goes to the Saints for Evans: F.

The Saints put a flag in the ground for Dont'e Thornton Jr., 49 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Evans. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.

In short, a weekend the front office will want to forget in a hurry.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Travis Hunter
In Round 1, Pick 1 they get a sticky cover corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick90 Rnd3 Carson Schwesinger
You do not let a linebacker like Carson Schwesinger reach the 90th pick and blink. They did not. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick101 Rnd3 Dylan Fairchild
No drama and no debate, Dylan Fairchild went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick131 Rnd4 Dont'e Thornton Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dont'e Thornton Jr.. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick184 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
No edge and no loss on JJ Pegues in the 184th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick190 Rnd6 Logan Brown
They barely believed it either: Logan Brown still on the board at the Round 6 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick201 Rnd6 Mitchell Evans
Taking Mitchell Evans in pick No. 201 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick248 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw in No. 248 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick254 Rnd7 Craig Woodson
Craig Woodson at the 254th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
