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

Start where it matters. The Saints took Jaxson Dart to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C+.

They will need Dart to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

On value alone, Kennard makes the weekend a net positive. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

So much rides on Jaxson Dart that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick Analysis
Pick9 Rnd1 Jaxson Dart
In pick 9 they get the face of the franchise, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick40 Rnd2 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the 40th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick71 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor at slot 71 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick93 Rnd3 Kyle Kennard
Nice patience on Kyle Kennard, who had no business lasting to the Round 3 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick112 Rnd4 Cobee Bryant
Cobee Bryant at the 112th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick131 Rnd4 RJ Harvey
A straight-up fair deal on RJ Harvey at pick No. 131, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
