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

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

That’s not my premise…

My premise is we shouldn’t draft anymore fat guys early until we have some damn players that can score points…. Because we have been doing that to no avail for the last 8 seasons.

We have already built ours too…. They need to play better. You can’t keep doubling your bet every time you lose…. At some point you have to play at another table.
