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

So we're forgoing BPA to throw darts at perceived needs? That's rarely if ever a good draft strategy. Also, I think the perception that RBs aren't valued is more in the "draft expert"sphere than it is in the league. Bijan was going in the 20's until draft day. Similarly with Gibbs. Now those guys are cornerstones of their teams.

Where did I say that? I would prefer going BPA at a major position of need. RB would not make our top 3-5 needs. Edge, LB, Safety, OL, DL, would all come before RB. There’s 2-3 running backs just off the top of my head that we can get in rounds 3-4 that easily have the potential to be very good NFL backs.

And like I said if we go Jeanty, fine. But trade back a few spots since he’s likely to be available around 13-15
