Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Saints: B-.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Saints reached some 82 spots for Willie Lampkin, and value like that does not grow back.

Johnson at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the cornerback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Mike Green
In pick 9 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, a steep price for the projection. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyleik Williams
A straight-up fair deal on Tyleik Williams at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick71 Rnd3 Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte in the 71st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick93 Rnd3 Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at slot 93 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick112 Rnd4 Kaleb Johnson
A running back of that caliber at pick No. 112 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick131 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
They robbed the room for Danny Stutsman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick184 Rnd6 Kurtis Rourke
Taking Kurtis Rourke in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick248 Rnd7 Akili Arnold
They will replay Akili Arnold at Round 7, Pick 32 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jaylin Lane
You do not let a wide receiver like Jaylin Lane reach the 254th pick and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
