Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB FutureB
The Saints won the night they stopped Washington from sliding. Grade: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Tahj Washington, slot 230, roughly 38 picks past where he belonged.

The Saints indulged a want in Solomon while a need in quarterback, running back and other spots stayed open. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick28 Rnd1 Darius Robinson
In pick 28 they get a double-digit-sack hope, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick119 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
A want over a need in the 119th overall pick: Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE while quarterback, running back and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick149 Rnd5 Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at No. 149 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick167 Rnd5 Javion Cohen
No drama and no debate, Javion Cohen went about where he belonged in the 167th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
They jumped the gun on Ty'Ron Hopper, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick174 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
The board had Luke McCaffrey higher than slot 174, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick192 Rnd6 Sione Vaki
They barely believed it either: Sione Vaki still on the board at pick No. 192. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick201 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
Gabe Hall at pick 201 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick230 Rnd7 Tahj Washington
Tahj Washington in the Round 7 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
