Offensive line could tempt Saints at No. 9 overall
By Ross Jackson -LouisianaSports.net
Watch out for offensive line at the top of this year’s New Orleans Saints draft class. Conversations are heating up around what the Saints might look to do at No. 9 overall, and there looks to be a good chance that New Orleans leans on the league’s old, faithful notion and builds the trenches.
The draft week rumors are usually robust. Back in 2020, the draft week rumor was that the team was enticed by Wisconsin running back Jonathan Taylor and were possibly looking to trade up for him. Ultimately, when the Saints were up on the clock at pick No. 24, Taylor on the board, the team instead selected offensive lineman Cesar Ruiz.
A year later, the Saints were said to have interest in trading up for either cornerbacks Patrick Surtain II or Jaycee Horn. But with selecting at No. 28 overall, there was little chance for the team to find a way to make that move.

If Ashton Jeanty is avaliable at pick nine, the Saints need to grab him
It’s officially NFL Draft week. That means fans and experts alike are solidifying who they want their team to select on night one.
The New Orleans Saints should closely monitor Ashton Jeanty, a running back out of Boise State. Other teams like the Raiders and Jets have also shown interest in him, but there is a chance that he falls to the Saints. If he does, the franchise should have its easiest decision in years.
Here are some reasons why.
No other running back had a better season in 2024 than Ashton Jeanty, who in 14 games played had 374 rushing attempts for 2,601 yards and 29...
