Five players to watch at no. 9 overall for the Saints
By Ross Jackson -LouisianaSports.net
The New Orleans Saints have been a mystery all offseason long when it comes to their first round pick. Drafting a quarterback went from feeling like a possibility to a certainty. Then the skill position players expected to be left on the board at No. 9 overall started to look too tempting. Now, the offensive and defensive lines have again been propped up as needs to be addressed.
The Saints have a lot of directions they could go Thursday evening but some avenues feel most likely to be traveled.
Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart
While the quarterback chatter looks to be dying down for New Orleans, there’s a chance that it’s all smoke and mirrors in the best interest of protecting their target. In that case, Dart is the only passer that seems to align with the team’s new head coach.
So much so that recent odds are surging, placing him as the second-most likely selection to start off the team’s draft.
Dart fits the mold of Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, with whom head coach Kellen Moore just won a Super Bowl. While Louisville’s Tyler Shough feels like a likely option for New Orleans, he would likely be a trade-up candidate later in the first round or early in day two. If the Saints are going quarterback at No. 9, Dart seems like the most likely target.

The NFL Draft is far from an exact science. Every year players projected to be busts turn out great and players thought to be sure things are out of the league in just a few years. The New Orleans Saints have been up and down in terms of their draft success in recent years, as they have picked many key contributors to great Saints teams in the past, but recently have made some picks that have set them back a few years.

“Reaches” are a bit different in the 2025 NFL Draft and the Saints can do anything at 9
Throughout the year, many believed the 2025 NFL Draft class was weaker than previous years. The strength of the class comes from depth in rounds after the first round, but near the top of the first round, there is a lack of talent. There is a bit of a fall-off after Cam Ward, Travis Hunter, and Abdul Carter are selected. When these three are off the board, it creates a scenario where teams may “reach” for certain prospects that the consensus believed would go later in the first/second round. This year is different because these reaches are not really reaches. Yes, from the outside looking...
