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

So in your mind what if the best player available at your number one need is ranked worse than the best player available at your fifth ranked need?

It depends on the difference in grade. if @9 you have a RB rated 9.0 and a DT rated 8.8 and a X WR rated 8.7 / We should be taking the DT. There is always a cloud of players rated close at all positions so there's not a great difference in rating
