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

He is bigger and taller.

He’s not as good of an athlete as Bowers. While at Georgia, Bowers was hitting insane metrics for a TE with how fast he was consistently clocked while outrunning SEC secondary’s.

I was also a huge advocate on drafting Bowers last year. He was my top target in the draft for us. Bowers can also run the ball. I doubt Warren will make much of an impact throwing the ball other than maybe a few times in his entire NFL career. Not enough to really even factor it.

I’ve also done my homework on both players. Warren isn’t as talented as Bowers. Not a slight on Warren it’s just the reality of it.

Bowers has the potential to shatter TE receiving records. Warren does not.
I am a huge fan of Warren, having said that he’s not in the same stratosphere as Bowers.
Brock is generational and will have a HOF career given health.

Warren will be a very good TE in the league and I’d love to have him on the team.
