Draft Grade — Saints
Overall A-
ValueA- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Saints found their guy under center in Ward: A-.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Saints committed. Cam Ward is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.

Sabb at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Cam Ward
In Round 1, Pick 16 they get a passer to set the clock by at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick44 Rnd2 Luther Burden III
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 44 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick75 Rnd3 Ajani Cornelius
You do not let an offensive lineman like Ajani Cornelius reach No. 75 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick119 Rnd4 Keon Sabb
Steal is underselling it; Keon Sabb at the 119th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick154 Rnd5 Andrew Mukuba
They will replay Andrew Mukuba at slot 154 for years; that is how good the value is. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick251 Rnd7 Dorian Strong
Somehow Dorian Strong was still sitting there in pick No. 251, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
