Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB
Larceny in No. 186 lands the Saints a B+, Smith and all.

You build a draft on nights like this. Brashard Smith had no business being available in the 186th overall pick, and the Saints did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It nets out to a B+, which feels about right.

If Walker pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Tetairoa McMillan
Tetairoa McMillan in pick No. 12 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. at the 40th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick71 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba in Round 3, Pick 7 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick76 Rnd3 Deone Walker
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Deone Walker at No. 76. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick93 Rnd3 Terrance Ferguson
Terrance Ferguson at pick 93 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick111 Rnd4 David Walker
Value said wait; David Walker in the 111th pick says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick130 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
No edge and no loss on Emery Jones Jr. in slot 130; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick186 Rnd6 Brashard Smith
Brashard Smith in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick254 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb slipping to the Round 7 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
