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

Call it larceny. Jahdae Barron sat on the board until the 73rd pick, and the Saints did not need to be asked twice. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick7 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
They read the board right and Tate Ratledge was the payoff at the 38th pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick73 Rnd3 Jahdae Barron
They barely believed it either: Jahdae Barron still on the board at slot 73. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jordan James
Taking Jordan James in pick No. 87 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jake Majors
Steal is underselling it; Jake Majors at the 109th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick124 Rnd4 Danny Stutsman
They will replay Danny Stutsman at No. 124 for years; that is how good the value is. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick182 Rnd6 Kobe Hudson
A tidy little value on Kobe Hudson in Round 6, Pick 7, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick252 Rnd7 Ben Yurosek
Ben Yurosek in pick 252 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
