Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Saints finally solved quarterback, and it carried them to a B.

The Saints spent the pick that matters most on Cam Ward, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

Landing Fortune that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In pick No. 9 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jalon Walker at the Round 2 slot is the proof. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick71 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson in the 71st overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick93 Rnd3 Darius Alexander
By-the-book stuff, Darius Alexander at Round 3, Pick 29 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick112 Rnd4 Cam Skattebo
They paid sticker price for Cam Skattebo in pick 112, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick131 Rnd4 Anthony Belton
Anthony Belton at the 131st pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick184 Rnd6 O'Donnell Fortune
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, O'Donnell Fortune in slot 184, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick248 Rnd7 Isaac TeSlaa
Nice patience on Isaac TeSlaa, who had no business lasting to No. 248. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick254 Rnd7 Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
