Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedA- TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Saints for Campbell: B.

The board owed the Saints one, and it paid up: Jihaad Campbell, the No. 46 name on the board, sitting there at the 110th pick like a gift left on the doorstep. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The Durant pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Abdul Carter
In the 9th overall pick they get a double-digit-sack hope at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick43 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the Round 2 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick74 Rnd3 Jason Marshall Jr.
Circle this one: Jason Marshall Jr. at pick No. 74 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
Tyler Warren in the 87th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick110 Rnd4 Jihaad Campbell
Somehow Jihaad Campbell was still sitting there in slot 110, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick123 Rnd4 Zane Durant
Zane Durant at Round 4, Pick 22 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
Pick186 Rnd6 Xavier Nwankpa
A clean, defensible pick in No. 186 with a little surplus value in Xavier Nwankpa. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick253 Rnd7 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark in pick 253 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
