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

Unless one of the 2 can catch a back shoulder throw in the end zone while getting 2 feet down…. Or turn a screen play into a house call…. Need is a strong word.

This team needs to score points consistently to have any chance of competing on a regular basis anytime soon.

You have no chance of doing that when your top 3 backs are either 30 + years old or perpetually unavailable or both…. And your top WRs weigh a buck fifty and are one hit away from the ambulance…. And your best TE is actually a QB…. Or RB…. Or FB…. Or wait…. He’s in that first group I mentioned…. What was the question?

Oh yeah…. I like points.

This.

We have spent way too many prime assets on OL and don’t have anything to show for it. Even after spending all these assets, three firsts and a second, people still think the line is horrible.

A rookie starting OL isn’t the end-all be-all solution for our situation.

Am I saying we should draft an offensive skill position player just to do it? No. But if the grade checks out and he’s the best player on the board, you do it. You need it. We need to stop spinning our wheels and add playmakers if they are available to us.
