Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in pick 191: the Saints steal Thrash and grade out a B.

Call it larceny. Jamari Thrash sat on the board until the Round 6 slot, and the Saints did not need to be asked twice.

That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Chop Robinson
In pick No. 13 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick46 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
Terrion Arnold slid further than he should have, and the 46th pick is lovely value for the cornerback. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick136 Rnd4 Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at pick 136 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick150 Rnd5 Kedon Slovis
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 5 slot with a little surplus value in Kedon Slovis. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick170 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
They let Jaylan Ford come to them and pounced at No. 170. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick176 Rnd6 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in the 176th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick191 Rnd6 Jamari Thrash
You do not let a wide receiver like Jamari Thrash reach slot 191 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick206 Rnd6 Miles Frazier
Miles Frazier at Round 6, Pick 31 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
