Draft Grade — Saints
Overall C+
ValueC+ NeedB+ TradesD+ FutureB-
The jury is out on the Saints. For now, C+.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Saints started one anyway for Jimmy Horn Jr., 81 picks ahead of schedule.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Taylor. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.

Hit on Ashton Jeanty and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In the 9th overall pick they get a featured back at fair value.
Pick40 Rnd2 Donovan Ezeiruaku
A real head-scratcher, Donovan Ezeiruaku in the Round 2 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick71 Rnd3 Charles Grant
Charles Grant at slot 71 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jack Bech
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jack Bech in Round 3, Pick 29, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick111 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander in the 111th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick114 Rnd4 Mason Taylor
Circle this one: Mason Taylor at pick No. 114 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick115 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo slid further than he should have, and the 115th overall pick is lovely value for the running back. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick133 Rnd4 Cody Simon
Cody Simon in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick186 Rnd6 Nohl Williams
They talked themselves into Nohl Williams at the 186th pick, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick198 Rnd6 Maxen Hook
They reached a country mile for Maxen Hook at No. 198, and the board is aghast. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick227 Rnd7 Jimmy Horn Jr.
Jimmy Horn Jr. at pick No. 227 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
