Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints let Stutsman fall and pounced. Final grade: B.

The Saints spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Danny Stutsman, the No. 91 name on the board, in pick No. 186. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Reaching for Griffith left real value on the table behind him. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Will Campbell
In pick No. 9 they get a blindside protector. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40 Rnd2 Kenneth Grant
Kenneth Grant in the 40th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick71 Rnd3 Tate Ratledge
They took Tate Ratledge at par in Round 3, Pick 7, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Kaleb Johnson
Kaleb Johnson at No. 93 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Andrew Mukuba
Taking Andrew Mukuba in the 111th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick130 Rnd4 Dylan Sampson
Circle this one: Dylan Sampson at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Danny Stutsman
They robbed the room for Danny Stutsman here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick254 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
A wild overpay on Thor Griffith in slot 254, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
