Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B-
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Dart, and a B-, for the Saints.

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

The Mills pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The Giddens pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
In pick No. 9 they get their quarterback of the future, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at pick 40 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick71 Rnd3 JT Tuimoloau
They will replay JT Tuimoloau at slot 71 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick93 Rnd3 Tai Felton
Tai Felton in the 93rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112 Rnd4 Deone Walker
Deone Walker in the Round 4 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick131 Rnd4 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens in Round 4, Pick 29 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick184 Rnd6 Rylie Mills
Steal is underselling it; Rylie Mills at No. 184 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
