Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B+
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesA FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Saints for Trapilo: B+.

Thirty-one other rooms let Ozzy Trapilo slide, and the Saints were the ones holding the card at slot 117. Highway robbery. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The Smith reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick20 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In slot 20 they get a bendy edge with upside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick40 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at Round 2, Pick 8 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
Jonah Savaiinaea in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick51 Rnd2 Omarion Hampton
Steal is underselling it; Omarion Hampton at pick No. 51 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick71 Rnd3 Trey Amos
A cornerback of that caliber at the 71st pick is the definition of value, full stop. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick93 Rnd3 Savion Williams
By-the-book stuff, Savion Williams at pick 93 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick112 Rnd4 Barrett Carter
Circle this one: Barrett Carter at the 112th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick117 Rnd4 Ozzy Trapilo
Ozzy Trapilo in No. 117 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jeffrey Bassa
Jeffrey Bassa at pick No. 122 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick131 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tez Johnson in slot 131, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick184 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in pick 184 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick232 Rnd7 Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
They robbed the room for Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jackson Hawes
They paid up for Jackson Hawes at Round 7, Pick 32 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick254 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
They paid a round early for Donovan Smith in the 254th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
