Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Saints a B+.

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Saints shredded theirs for Sean Martin. He came off 116 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

Mondon Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

With cornerback unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick13 Rnd1 Omarion Hampton
In No. 13 they get an every-down engine for the run game at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick38 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in the 38th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tate Ratledge
Tate Ratledge at the 42nd pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick73 Rnd3 Tyler Warren
A slide stopped in the Round 3 slot, with Tyler Warren worth more than the price. The roster fit checks out.
Pick87 Rnd3 Malachi Moore
A want over a need in pick No. 87: Malachi Moore adds a safety while cornerback keeps waiting.
Pick109 Rnd4 Jake Majors
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jake Majors in Round 4, Pick 8, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick114 Rnd4 Drew Allar
Drew Allar in the 114th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick124 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. at No. 124 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick182 Rnd6 Julian Fleming
Julian Fleming at slot 182 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick190 Rnd6 Tonka Hemingway
A real head-scratcher, Tonka Hemingway in pick 190 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick252 Rnd7 Sean Martin
They talked themselves into Sean Martin at pick No. 252, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
