With the 9th Pick in the 2025 draft, who should the Saints select? (merged) (8 Viewers)

I want to trade down over and over and stock pile picks

That's fine,but you have to find a team willing to trade up. Most teams stand pat and let the draft come to them.
The Saints under Loomis have been an anomaly.

The 2 QBs…. a couple of OTs…. The DT from Mich…. A couple of edge rushers…. And at least one DB will all go before we pick. So I’m thinking either TMac or Jeanty could fall to us. If either does we should take which ever one falls to us. If not, we should look to trade down no more than 4 spots and take Warren there. Which would be ideal if it works out that way.

Ashton Jeanty or Mason Graham. T-Mac is also on my list, but I think he’s most certainly gone before we pick.

Trade down. Get more picks and draft ALL offensive line and defense. That's it.

Trade down. Get more picks and draft ALL offensive line and defense. That's it.

Who trades up, and for what player?

I'm cool with Jeanty or trading down a few spots and taking Tyler Warren.

Were a long ways from competing. We might as well make the offense somewhat exciting while we rebuild.

It’s interesting to go back and see how many times the #10 pick has been traded over the last ten drafts…nearly every draft in that span.

Btw…I believe that we are guaranteed to pick no lower than the #10 pick if the whiners win tonight against the Lions on MNF.

If our Qb isn’t there, we take the best available OL in the 1st every single year until our QB is there.

Sadly, there isn’t one position on this team you could say couldn’t be improved with that pick.

We are not going to fix the salary cap in one season. I would trade this years 10th pick for a 1st and second next season, eat as much cap damage as possible, suck balls for 2025, and hopefully have a decent cap situation and a bunch of draft picks to build on starting in 2026

I just don’t see the Saints organization willingly sacrificing a year in this blatant of a manner. For better or for worse, if Mickey Loomis is in charge again, he will go down swinging as far as asset management and attempting to win is concerned.

The desire by many to see the team do a total, full-on reset is going to be met with disappointment, IMO. Not saying it is the correct way or incorrect way, just saying people should adjust their expectations accordingly.

 

[St. Geezy]

It’s sad. Kind of feels like we should be picking top 3.

This was going into last week so it is outdated now, but your feeling is not unwarranted…



We are definitely getting screwed by the Football Gods yet again and should be picking somewhere in the neighborhood of pick 5.

I honestly don't care what team and for what player.

I just know that the Saints are not "one player away" from competing. They are years away from that. Ashton Jeanty, Cam Ward, Shadeur Sanders, whoever, is not going to miraculously make the Saints better. They would waste away for three years.

I've said it before: Tom Brady in his prime would do nothing behind the current offensive line in New Orleans. The game is won and lost in the trenches and the Saints need to concentrate solely on the O and D line.

WR McMillan. BPA. Impact. Not even close if he's available.
