Draft Grade — Saints

FutureB-
Dart is the Saints' new face under center. Grade: 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. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Dart pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
Job largely done: offensive lineman settled and 2 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick9
Rnd1
Kelvin Banks Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick24
Rnd1
Jaxson Dart
In pick 24 they get their quarterback of the future, even if it was a touch early. A clean fit for the roster.
