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

Not saying I’m against a guard at some point on day 2 of the draft, but we absolutely bargain bin shopped on OL last year in free agency.

I feel like we are a little closer to being in good shape with the cap in future years and could potentially bring in a solid guard through free agency this year if we were to back load a contract a little bit. Not saying spend a ton of a guard, but certainly more than we did last year.
Good UFA G cost a ton to sign...
Teams covet them.
