ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Saints: B.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Saints did exactly that with Charles Grant in slot 71.

The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
Fair-plus on Ashton Jeanty, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick40 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
They paid up for JT Tuimoloau at the 40th pick when waiting would have done the job. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick71 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A real head-scratcher, Charles Grant in pick No. 71 is miles ahead of his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jordan Phillips
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jordan Phillips well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
