Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Saints: B.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Saints took TJ Hall at the 172nd overall pick, roughly 61 spots before his name belonged.

They banked enough surplus on Klare to cover a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. Justin Watson gives the group a proven body among the projects.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick8 Rnd1 Caleb Downs
In Round 1, Pick 8 they get a centerfielder for the defense. More want than need.
Pick59 Rnd2 Mike Washington Jr.
They liked Mike Washington Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 59. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick73 Rnd3 Germie Bernard
They let Germie Bernard come to them and pounced at the 73rd overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick89 Rnd3 Treydan Stukes
Treydan Stukes is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick106 Rnd4 Max Klare
Steal is underselling it; Max Klare at No. 106 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick129 Rnd4 Mikail Kamara
They reached into another round for Mikail Kamara, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick132 Rnd4 Nadame Tucker
Nadame Tucker at pick No. 132 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick136 Rnd4 Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. in the 136th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick150 Rnd5 Beau Stephens
They jumped the gun on Beau Stephens, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick172 Rnd5 TJ Hall
A real head-scratcher, TJ Hall in the 172nd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick190 Rnd6 Pat Coogan
They paid a round early for Pat Coogan in slot 190, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
