Draft Grade — Saints
Overall D+
ValueB+ NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Saints and Worthy: D+.

The phones were a trap the Saints kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Worthy steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In No. 29 they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick35 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
A tidy bit of business in slot 35, where Troy Fautanu graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Value with a capital V on Tyler Guyton in the 36th overall pick, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
Ladd McConkey at Round 2, Pick 8 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick73 Rnd3 Max Melton
They read the board right and Max Melton was the payoff at the 73rd pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick90 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
Somehow Xavier Worthy was still sitting there in pick No. 90, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103 Rnd4 Trey Benson
They did well to land Trey Benson in the 103rd pick, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick104 Rnd4 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette in pick 104 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick105 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick137 Rnd5 Javon Foster
Javon Foster slipping to Round 5, Pick 1 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick149 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
Johnny Wilson at slot 149 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick161 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Taking Nehemiah Pritchett in pick No. 161 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick167 Rnd5 Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha slid further than he should have, and No. 167 is lovely value for the safety. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick169 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Mason McCormick at the 169th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick192 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
The board fumbled Kamal Hadden all the way to the 192nd pick, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick201 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
You do not let a cornerback like Dwight McGlothern reach pick 201 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick230 Rnd7 Josh Proctor
Nice patience on Josh Proctor, who had no business lasting to pick No. 230. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick231 Rnd7 Tyrice Knight
The board had Tyrice Knight higher than Round 7, Pick 11, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
