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

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

This is one of the reasons I’d like to give Kubiak another year at least. Good guards can be found in the later rounds. I love the idea of moving Ruiz to backup center. My one wish for this draft is that we get players that excel at their college position and play them at the same spot in the pros.
