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

This was also covered and they do…. We have 1st or 2nd round picks at every Oline position save 1…. WTH else are we supposed to do there before we start drafting guys that can actually stay healthy and score points?

They debunk your premise that fat guys should only be drafted in the 3rd or later rds. The Lions have had a tremendous bounty of high draft picks, they started out building their OL and DL and they drafted well, we did not. That does not mean that you don't build your lines 1st and the best OL fat guys come in the 1st and 2nd rds. The Lions were ABLE to pick Gibbs and Williams and LaPorta because they not only had all those picks to address other areas but because they built their OL and DL FIRST
