Draft Grade — Saints
Overall A-
ValueA NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Saints won the night they stopped Sabb from sliding. Grade: A-.

The Saints spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Keon Sabb, the No. 106 name on the board, in the 185th overall pick.

They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Will Johnson and all.

Pick Analysis
Pick15 Rnd1 Will Johnson
In the 15th pick they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick42 Rnd2 Walter Nolen
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at No. 42 is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick46 Rnd2 Harold Fannin Jr.
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Harold Fannin Jr. graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick74 Rnd3 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in the 74th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jihaad Campbell
Somehow Jihaad Campbell was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 24, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick111 Rnd4 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo in pick No. 111 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick125 Rnd4 Quinshon Judkins
They will replay Quinshon Judkins at slot 125 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick185 Rnd6 Keon Sabb
You do not let a safety like Keon Sabb reach pick 185 and blink. They did not. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick253 Rnd7 Cam Skattebo
Taking Cam Skattebo in the 253rd overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
