Draft Grade — Saints
Overall

FutureC
The Saints fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B. The trade table was a mismatch, and the Saints were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.
They are betting Wohler proves the room right and everyone else wrong. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Walker.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In pick 12 they get a blindside protector at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick40
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
A tidy bit of business in Round 2, Pick 8, where Jalon Walker graded well above the range. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick41
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
They read the board right and Emeka Egbuka was the payoff at slot 41. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick42
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
A quiet steal in pick No. 42: Omarion Hampton for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick74
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick126
Rnd4
Dillon Gabriel
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dillon Gabriel. The roster fit checks out.
Pick166
Rnd5
JJ Pegues
A big swing on JJ Pegues at the 166th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick194
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at the 194th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick236
Rnd7
Desmond Watson
A straight-up fair deal on Desmond Watson at pick 236, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick241
Rnd7
Hunter Wohler
Hunter Wohler at No. 241 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick248
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
The board had Isaac TeSlaa higher than the 248th pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick254
Rnd7
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
No drama and no debate, Jamon Dumas-Johnson went about where he belonged in pick No. 254. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
