NFL Draft Who’s on your “Do not draft “ at 9?

[Kingston]

Shedeur.
Ashton Jeanty.
Tet McMillan.

I could live with Jeanty or McMillan if we trade down a few spots. But I really don’t want the Sanders circus.

Yep and it’s no nock on him as a player. It’s what is going to come with him. I love Deion I just see that being a problem. He is going to defacto take over your team from afar. If we got all fired up about Olave’s brother that will be a walk in the park compared to what Deion can do.

And again I love Deion but I can just picture people that aren’t fans of his listening to him talk about how we used his son wrong after a loss.

The four “do not draft” at 9 in my mind:

Shemar Stewart DE Texas A&M

Mykel Williams DE Georgia

Will Johnson CB Michigan

Will Campbell OL LSU

(though to be honest any EDGE or OL sounds like an auto do not draft at 9)

This doesn’t have to be just the number 9 pick: Are there any guys you think the Saints should heavily avoid?

Jaxon Dart for me. Don’t understand Will Campbell on that list at all.

 

[Tulsa Saint]

Jaxon Dart for me. Don’t understand Will Campbell on that list at all.

It should be pretty obvious

He’s an OL for starters and one that has horrible tape.

At 9, I don't want to see us draft ANY quarterback, but especially not Sanders.

If only some incriminating video would turn up of Carter or Graham drunk or something would magically appear so the teams above freak out (so he falls to us) before finding out after the draft that it's all a deep fake hoax (I guess that should go on the "pipe dream" thread).

lol just stop it man. Bad tape? Not a 1st rounder. Played 2,553 snaps in 3 years allowing only 5 sacks – 3 as a true freshman in 2022 and 2 in 2024 going against top talent in the toughest conference in college football. It’s one thing to not think he fits for whatever reason or may not be your favorite but bad tape and not a first round talent when every NFL scout and non scout has him rated a first rounder and top ten pick basically is silly.

Who has horrible tape??? You can’t be talking about Will???

I watch LSU friend and he had a poor season last year. He cost himself a lot last season.

He’s a bad fit on this team as we have our tackles and it’d be a waste of a top 10 pick on a guard.

He’l likely still be a first rounder due to how weak this class is but he’s sliding on Draftbuzz to the late teens.

And please don’t tell me to “stop it” ok? This is my opinion even if you disagree.

I am not a fan of Campbell as a top tier prospect(good lineman but not where many project him to go) and not on our team for various reasons.

I’m completely against any OL at 9(if they stay there)

Get a guard in the mid rounds

Right

I’m also against any Oline player bc I think we have used way too many premium picks on the Oline, but I only disagree with what you said about Will. He was pretty darn great at LSU

I'm in full agreement with all 4 of these. Do not want any of them at all except Campbell if we trade back to late teens or Johnson if we trade back to 20's. Barron I believe is a much better CB then Johnson. Stay completely away from Stewart and Williams unless they somehow appear in the late 4th or 5th as a development project to figure out why they suck at game time.

Shemar Stewart

If we draft another athletic freak with no on-field production then it's clear we have learned nothing at all from three wasted first round picks for Davenport and Turner.
Anyone but Stewart!

I don’t want McMillan at 9. Way too high for him.
