Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints won the night they stopped Henderson from sliding. Grade: B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. TreVeyon Henderson had no business being available in the 130th overall pick, and the Saints did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Every board in the league had Walley lower, and that gap is the story. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Walter Nolen
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon slipping to slot 40 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick71 Rnd3 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the 71st pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick93 Rnd3 Jermari Harris
By-the-book stuff, Jermari Harris at pick 93 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick111 Rnd4 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at the 111th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick130 Rnd4 TreVeyon Henderson
The board fumbled TreVeyon Henderson all the way to pick No. 130, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick186 Rnd6 Ricky White III
Ricky White III at Round 6, Pick 8 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick254 Rnd7 Justin Walley
They talked themselves into Justin Walley at No. 254, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
