Draft Grade — Saints
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
The phones sank the Saints this weekend: C-.

The Saints torched the value chart for Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson, taking him 133 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C- in the wash.

The Taylor pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the Round 1 slot they get a bell-cow for the offense. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
A reach for JT Tuimoloau in No. 40; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick71 Rnd3 Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins in pick No. 71 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick93 Rnd3 Harold Fannin Jr.
Taking Harold Fannin Jr. in the 93rd overall pick is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick111 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba at pick 111 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick130 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo in slot 130 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick131 Rnd4 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
A big swing on Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at the 131st pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick135 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
Mason Taylor at slot 135 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick138 Rnd4 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier in pick No. 138 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick139 Rnd4 Pat Bryant
They paid sticker price for Pat Bryant in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick186 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
They talked themselves into Nohl Williams at the 186th overall pick, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at pick 226 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
Jimmy Horn Jr. at Round 7, Pick 36 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
