Here's my latest read.

I recently wrote a story breaking down one of the latest mock drafts by Pro Football Network, where they mocked Georgia safety Malaki Starks being taken by the Saints at pick no. 10. Enjoy!!

Saints Mock Draft Reaction: Is Safety the Right Choice at No. 10?

The New Orleans Saints’ 5-10 record has made the discussion around their top-10 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft a hot topic. Recently, Pro Football Network’s latest mock draft slotted the Saints to select Georgia safety Malaki Starks at No. 10. While Starks is undoubtedly a top-tier talent, the...

I’m with you here, safety isn’t a premium position, nor one of the team’s biggest needs.

We definitely need to draft a safety or two. But I don’t want to spend a top 10 pick on one. Last offseason a bunch of them were available in free agency. It’s clear the league has devalued the position.

Our secondary is one of the few position groups that we actually have done okay drafting under DA, so it's not a priority at 10.

The Saints can use help everywhere, so if Safety is the best player available, take him. Whomever the best player is at the time of their pick, take that guy.

What? Safety play has been horrible this year. The Saints need 2 starters at safety. Especially if they continue to run a 4-2 front

I don’t know where Starks is being projected, but if we can trade back and still get him in the first round I’d be good with that. Unless he has Ed Reed skills, 10 is to high.

Horrible compared to what? WR? TE? OL? DL? QB apart from Carr?

You left out LB

There isn't a position on this team where we don't need to get better or younger. So if a Safety is BPA, you take him. Our best Safety is going to be 33 and Will Harris is okay, but nothing special and Howden has not shown be be an NFL quality Safety.

I would prefer it if BPA was a WR or DL, but you don't pass on BPA unless there is a good offer to trade down on the table.

Safety is not a big need?

 

[SaintStephen1]

I'll keep saying it nicely in the hopes that it gets an avalanche of support. Please trade down numerous times in the first three rounds of the next two drafts.

 

[srcampbell]

We need to trade down as much as possible and accumulate talent.

 

[solarbear88]

I see us taking a lineman. Guys that size who can move are hard to find outside of the first 2 rounds hence why I think Campbell, Banks and Graham will be all gone by 10.

Probably a DE.

We need a big-time playmaker for the offense. Some of the D players just need better coaching. Offense is the biggest need IMO
