Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesA FutureB-
The Saints kept it disciplined and banked a B.

The Saints did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Johnny Wilson fell into pick No. 174.

Every board in the league had Milton III lower, and that gap is the story. They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick30 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
In pick 30 they get a No. 1 receiver, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick45 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
They let Jordan Morgan come to them and pounced at Round 2, Pick 13. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick49 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
A clean, defensible pick in Round 2, Pick 17 with a little surplus value in Kris Jenkins. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick62 Rnd2 Mike Sainristil
They took Mike Sainristil at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick93 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
Javon Solomon at No. 93 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick131 Rnd4 James Williams
Value with a capital V on James Williams in pick No. 131, a genuine coup. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick149 Rnd5 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in the 149th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick167 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in slot 167 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick169 Rnd5 Jordan Jefferson
They went early on Jordan Jefferson in the 169th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick174 Rnd5 Johnny Wilson
They robbed the room for Johnny Wilson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick192 Rnd6 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas in Round 6, Pick 17 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick201 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Frank Gore Jr. this early at the 201st pick. It fills a real need, too.
Pick230 Rnd7 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford at pick 230 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
