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

This is how I look at it. Let's set we had Graham, or Will Johnson, or Carter on this year's team. Would the Saints have won more games? Maybe. It would have at least been more interesting.

Now let's say that the Saints had Tet or Jeanty this year. Would the Saints have won more games? Almost certainly.

It's not just BPA. Its which player helps you win the most given what's there. I could be wrong, but I don't think anyone on defense does that, at least in the short-term, in the first round. After the first round is a different story.

Yes, the defense is old and needs upgrading everywhere. But it's not the total embarrassment that the offense is either.

LOL I'm all for taking Tet. But the biggest reason we would have won more games with those guy is our offense was DECIMATED by injuries and we were playing off the street WRs and guys that were out of the league or should have been on the PS @ RB . C'mon man. Also our offense was bad middle of the yr because the "Fat Guys " as towel likes to call them were mostly hurt on the OL. Ohh and don't forget we had a 5th rnd rookie starting @ QB

Now , if we had Graham or Johnson maybe we don't have 3 DBs running into each other and we win the Philly game or maybe Johnson does not have a DPI and we win the the 1st ATL game. Maybe if we had Graham ( another Fat Guy) tyeams don't run the ball down our throats and they don't score and we win more games
