Which Position Should the Team Avoid at #9?

My reading comprehension is fine, but the point of the entire thread is exactly what you stated in the second paragraph. What position group do you feel is weakest or one you'd prefer to avoid? I can admit that I framed it a bit clumsily, asking the same question three different ways.

If "I can safely say there's no offensive lineman worth one of the top 9 picks" is not a trashing of a position group, then I don't think it's my comprehension that needs work.

Yes, opinions. Except that you are holding yours up as gospel and trying to use WalterFootball as some sort of receipt/proof. We both agree it’s about playerswould just tripped over your own sanctimony proving it.

Nah, you didn't like the response. I stated why avoiding a position group is not a good idea. Then I said if I was forced why I'd avoid OL. I dont see one being ranked in the top 9 players. That's not avoiding the position, that's not wasting the value of the pick on a player I don't see as being one of the best 9 in the draft assuming the Saints pick 9th. If the Saints trade down to 15, I don't think avoiding OL is still a good idea. See how that works? Hence my belief that avoiding a position group with the Saints first pick isn't sound. It isn't sanctimonious to say that. On the contrary, I'm showing exactly why that logic is faulty. I could have stopped at my first paragraph but the 2nd paragraph illustrates the problem with avoiding a position. No draftable OL in the the top 9 doesn't mean there's not one in the top 15.

And yes your comprehension needs help if you think saying there's not a OL in the top 9 players this year is trashing the position, LOL. There's not a punter in the top 9, is that trashing too? If I said, "all the OL suck!", that's trashing the position group. Me saying that I safely don't see one OL rated in the top 9 is just my opinion on the top 4% of players (9 out of 257 players) who will be drafted this year. If saying that there's no tackle in the best 4% of players (not the the top 10% or 25% mind you...4%) is trashing the whole position group, then YES your reading comprehension is lacking. I guess I'm trashing Archie Manning if I say he's not the best Saints QB of all time too. No, he's just not Drew Brees.
