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?

I think taking the best player available at a position of need on your board is the way to go.

There’s almost no chance the way this draft is likely to fall that that happens at 9 with Jeanty being that guy. Not saying we won’t draft him, just saying the scenario you proposed won’t happen at 9.
