A masterclass at the trade table lands the Saints a B+.

Nobody had David Walker this high, and it is not close. The Saints reached 67 spots to get him at the 99th pick.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Hunter. The phones were where this weekend was really won. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 Shemar Stewart
In pick 11 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They barely believed it either: Nick Emmanwori still on the board at No. 40. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jack Bech
Jack Bech at slot 71 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Charles Grant
They reached a country mile for Charles Grant at Round 3, Pick 11, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick93 Rnd3 Chris Paul Jr.
Good price on Chris Paul Jr. in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick99 Rnd3 David Walker
A big swing on David Walker at the 99th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick111 Rnd4 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson in pick 111 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick130 Rnd4 O'Donnell Fortune
They did well to land O'Donnell Fortune in the Round 4 slot, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick186 Rnd6 Hayden Conner
This one needs a full-page explanation: Hayden Conner in No. 186, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick232 Rnd7 Jonas Sanker
Jonas Sanker in the 232nd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jarquez Hunter
A running back of that caliber at the 254th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
