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

Jesse Custer said

You mean the guy who had 17 rushing yards against the Ravens? That guy?

For people who don't think workhorse backs matter:

Travis Henry: 26 rushes for 186 yards

James Cook: 23 rushes for 120 yards

Joe Mixon: 25 rushes for 106 yards

Saquon Barkley: 25 rushes for 119 yards

Josh Jacobs: 18 rushes for 81 yards

From this weekend's playoff games.

None of these guys lead their team to success they are successful because of their team.

King Henry: Took the titans nowhere.
James Cook: MVP candidate is his QB
Joe Mixon: Bengals had zero issues replacing him with a 5th round RB.
Barkey: Lead the Giants absolutely nowhere.
Josh Jacob's: Lead the Raiders absolutely nowhere.

These guys are all products of their teams that have been built already then added them. We are not in that boat.
