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

We do need to fix the O-line and D-line. But we can't ignore everything else for years on end, either. We've been focusing on O-line and D-line for years, and those haven't panned out, and we don't have any talent at other positions now either. I'm just say that we should spread out the high round draft picks to more than one position group.

And I would argue that WR, TE, and RB outside of Kamara are weaker position groups than O-line or D-line.

I didn't say we should ignore everything else for years. I'm all for BPA regardless of position. Especially for this team who needs help everywhere. I just don't think Jeanty is really a generational talent and that there is better value at RB in the 2nd through 4th rounds so I would rather trade down if Jeanty is BPA at #9.

Frankly, the player I really want in this draft is McMillian but I doubt he falls to #9.

I disagree that any position is weaker than DL. We essentially have one average player in Granderson and one good pass rushing DT that can't play the run in Breese. That is weaker than any other position group. At WR we have Olave and Shaheed (with Means as a bit of an unknown). At TE we have a solid TE in Moreau who could catch more passes if he didn't have to stay in to block to protect a weak OL and Taysom Hill. At RB we have Kamara and Miller who when healthy appears to be a very good back. I understand that people are down on him due to the injuries, but not much he can do about a concussion and when he plays he is good. Regardless Kamara is very good and carries most of the load anyway.
