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

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Saints spent their marquee pick on Jaxson Dart, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

Getting Royals where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Reaching for Sorrell left real value on the table behind him.

The interior defensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
In the 9th overall pick they get the arm they will build around, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jonah Savaiinaea
They paid sticker price for Jonah Savaiinaea in Round 2, Pick 8, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick71 Rnd3 Trey Amos
Taking Trey Amos in the 71st pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick93 Rnd3 Gunnar Helm
Nothing to complain about; Gunnar Helm went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick112 Rnd4 Jalen Royals
Steal is underselling it; Jalen Royals at slot 112 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick131 Rnd4 Barryn Sorrell
They reached into another round for Barryn Sorrell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick184 Rnd6 Ajani Cornelius
Ajani Cornelius at pick No. 184 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick248 Rnd7 Kyle Monangai
Kyle Monangai in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick254 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
They will replay Jordan Hancock at the 254th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. A minor itch, scratched.
