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

While I don’t necessarily disagree that he would have struggles like any other top talent at RB would behind our “current” OL. We definitely need an upgrade at OG and McCoy needs to stay healthy.

He went for 220+ yards and a touchdown this year in the conference championship vs UNLV. Played through an injury in the first game this year and still had 139 yards and a touchdown. He also had 168 yards and a touchdown last year against UNLV. Over 500 yards and 3 touchdowns in his last 3 games isn’t so bad lol.

The dude is a legit superstar talent at RB. Whether we should go RB that high is another question.

All good points, and my point was more how bad my football team is…and how terrible the mountain west is..I get your point too tho.

Iirc he was shut down when they played a “real” defense. I think it was Penn State?

I think he will be a very good NFL running back, just think we need help all over. I’m good with the pick if they think he’s BPA at 9. Even tho I never like to see a RB taken in the first round, especially not top ten.
