FutureB-
The Saints bled value on every deal, hence the D. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Saints spent the 117th overall pick on Sai'vion Jones, a name most had 104 spots down the list.
The Henderson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.
They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.
In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.
Pick Analysis
Pick10
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In the 10th overall pick they get a bell-cow for the offense at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick43
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka is a better player than pick 43 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick74
Rnd3
Jared Ivey
Jared Ivey at slot 74 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87
Rnd3
Alfred Collins
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Alfred Collins reach pick No. 87 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick111
Rnd4
Willie Lampkin
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Willie Lampkin well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick115
Rnd4
Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore at No. 115 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick116
Rnd4
Jermari Harris
Taking Jermari Harris in pick No. 116 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick117
Rnd4
Sai'vion Jones
They left a pile of value on the table to take Sai'vion Jones this early at pick 117. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick123
Rnd4
Deontae Lawson
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Deontae Lawson in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick131
Rnd4
Danny Stutsman
Circle this one: Danny Stutsman at the 131st overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick151
Rnd5
TreVeyon Henderson
Steal is underselling it; TreVeyon Henderson at the 151st pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick168
Rnd5
Kevin Jennings
They talked themselves into Kevin Jennings at slot 168, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick170
Rnd5
Taylen Green
A wild overpay on Taylen Green in No. 170, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick171
Rnd5
Ar'maj Reed-Adams
Value said wait; Ar'maj Reed-Adams in Round 5, Pick 33 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick185
Rnd6
Eli Stowers
A slide stopped in pick 185, with Eli Stowers worth more than the price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick189
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins in Round 6, Pick 14 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick253
Rnd7
Jamaree Caldwell
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jamaree Caldwell in slot 253, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
