Draft Grade — Saints
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Saints drew a line under the quarterback search with Dart: B.

The Saints clearly saw something nobody else did in Antwaun Powell-Ryland, taking him 75 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

So much rides on Jaxson Dart that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Warren. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaxson Dart. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick40 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Taking Tyler Warren in Round 2, Pick 8 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick48 Rnd2 JT Tuimoloau
JT Tuimoloau in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick51 Rnd2 Jihaad Campbell
A slide stopped in the 51st overall pick, with Jihaad Campbell worth more than the price. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick63 Rnd2 Xavier Watts
The board had Xavier Watts higher than the 63rd pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick71 Rnd3 Deone Walker
A tidy little value on Deone Walker in pick 71, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick76 Rnd3 Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo at the Round 3 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick80 Rnd3 Charles Grant
A big swing on Charles Grant at pick 80, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick86 Rnd3 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
They talked themselves into Antwaun Powell-Ryland at pick No. 86, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick96 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
They paid a round early for Cam Skattebo in Round 3, Pick 32, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
