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

To counter that, Ruiz = meh. Penning = meh. Fuaga hasn't been bad, but not as good as most expected. With our scouting, that doesn't necessarily work, either. The Saints just need to get good players wherever they can get them, because they've done a poor job over the last few years.
Just because WE haven't drafted well does not mean you don't draft OL or DL in the 1st 2 rnds. One of the reasons I'm wanting to keep Kubiak and the O coaching staff is the system he runs does not need the greatest OL , just a very good LT which I hope that Fuaga can be. We do need to get better on the IOL because Ruiz and Patrick are not very good. I would move Ruiz to backup C and replace him and also replace Patrick hopefully in FA.

Penning has shown vast improvement under Benton and Dennison which is why I'd like to keep the O staff
