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

Sure but you're ignoring the main point.

Every example given are teams that built their rosters first THEN drafted/signed an elite RB.

Name one team in the modern era that build a successful franchise off picking a running back in the top 10.

JHC dude... All this has been addressed here - I am not ignoring anything - go back and find my responses to all this... The Saints have 4 out of 5 starters that were already 1st or 2nd round picks

The Saints have literally taken an OL or DL in the 1st or 2nd round every year for the past decade! And nearly all our Oline starters have been taken in those rounds just since 2019....

When then flip are we going to see those guys produce? And how much more capital has to be spent there before we build an offense full of young point scorers that are worth watching on Sunday? Flip Me... How about now?

We have built the LINES already - Stop doubling down on stupid - and start drafting point scorers... That's my take.... full stop.
