Draft Grade — Saints
Overall

NeedB

FutureB
Dart is the plan now, and the Saints grade out a C+. It is the swing that defines the weekend: Nohl Williams in pick No. 151, a good 109 spots before the room expected him.
The whole projection now runs through Jaxson Dart; hit there and everything else looks smarter. Landing Henderson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend. They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
So much rides on Jaxson Dart that the real verdict is a season or two away.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Jaxson Dart
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a long-term answer under center, a steep price for the projection.
Pick40
Rnd2
JT Tuimoloau
A reach for JT Tuimoloau in No. 40; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick47
Rnd2
Tyler Booker
Tyler Booker in the 47th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick62
Rnd2
Deone Walker
They took Deone Walker at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick64
Rnd2
Harold Fannin Jr.
Harold Fannin Jr. at slot 64 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick71
Rnd3
Charles Grant
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Charles Grant. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick86
Rnd3
Andrew Mukuba
Andrew Mukuba slipping to the Round 3 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
Value with a capital V on Jayden Higgins in the 87th pick, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick93
Rnd3
David Walker
David Walker in pick 93 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick95
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
Cam Skattebo at Round 3, Pick 31 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick111
Rnd4
TreVeyon Henderson
Taking TreVeyon Henderson in pick No. 111 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick115
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
They jumped the gun on Darius Alexander, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123
Rnd4
Tez Johnson
They will replay Tez Johnson at slot 123 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139
Rnd4
Danny Stutsman
Steal is underselling it; Danny Stutsman at No. 139 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick151
Rnd5
Nohl Williams
A wild overpay on Nohl Williams in pick 151, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick156
Rnd5
Cody Simon
You do not let a linebacker like Cody Simon reach No. 156 and blink. They did not. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick161
Rnd5
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson
Brandon Crenshaw-Dickson at the 161st overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick233
Rnd7
Seth McLaughlin
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Seth McLaughlin at Round 7, Pick 15 is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick254
Rnd7
Shilo Sanders
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Shilo Sanders. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
