Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints let Schwesinger fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Carson Schwesinger, the 253rd pick, roughly 117 picks past where he belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

Reaching for Jones Jr. left real value on the table behind him. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Quinn Ewers
They reached a country mile for Quinn Ewers at the 40th pick, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick71 Rnd3 Denzel Burke
Nothing to complain about; Denzel Burke went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick90 Rnd3 Deontae Lawson
The board had Deontae Lawson higher than pick 90, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick111 Rnd4 Emery Jones Jr.
They talked themselves into Emery Jones Jr. at No. 111, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick128 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
You do not let a wide receiver like Tez Johnson reach slot 128 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick183 Rnd6 Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish at the Round 6 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick253 Rnd7 Carson Schwesinger
Carson Schwesinger in the 253rd overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
