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

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 Dart reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

On the needs board they went 1 of 8, with quarterback the one that mattered most.

If Jaxson Dart and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
In Round 1, Pick 9 they get a long-term answer under center, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
