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

Again, neither would have helped this year. Fuaga didn’t make the line great and didn’t stop us from losing 12 games. Guys like Bowers are super star building blocks for the future. You have to get them and are more valuable in today’s NFL than fat guys. The only thing more valuable than super star offensive play makers are franchise QBs. That’s the point. Draft fat guys from rounds 3 on…. Get superstar offensive players and franchise QBs in rounds 1 and 2.

The best teams in the NFL fall to pieces when the lose their all world playmakers…. But seem to survive a fat guy being out for a while. It’s not coincidence. It’s points.

I get what you are saying, but I tend to lean more building the foundation. If you have a great line, then you run and pass protect better. A good Dline makes the CBs better. It's just everyone has a different philosophy. Honestly this year, I don't care where they go first because we need so much. Just not DE though and QB. They can't hardly pick a DE to save their life.
