With the 9th Pick in the 2025 draft, who should the Saints select? (merged) (16 Viewers)

[SigFreudianSlip]

You think the Lions regret passing on premium position player like DE Lucas Van Ness for Jamyr Gibbs? I know they got Hutchinson so Van Ness probably wasn't ever going to be an option but my point is they took the talented RB over a premium position and Gibbs is helping them win games.

A strong run game and a do it all RB is a young QB's best friend. We saw how bad it got when we couldn't establish a run game or got behind early. If Jeanty is BPA then take him. We need talent.

I do strongly agree that we need talent.
We need talent at way more than just the RB position. Literally almost every position is in dire need of talent.

With no line, no running back will succeed.

Looks like we will be the 10th Pick in the draft so who you got for our first pick? Do you think we trade up or trade back?

Nobody, they trade back because one top 10 talent isn’t going to transform this team.

Mason Graham…I’m hoping he slides to #10. Immediate day one difference maker.

Man do I hope, but it's very unlikely he's there when we pick, but I'll take McMillian if not , or even if he is

 

[DSnfla]

Trade down, never, not Loomis’ style.

Saints stand pat and go BPA at WR, DT, CB, DE, QB.

Crazy pick: Saints do a 1st round pick swap and 3rd for JJ McCarthy. Darnold will take a team friendly 3-yr contract like Baker.

I guess you didn't hear that if Bowers was there he had a deal in place with the Rams to trade down last yr

Maybe they passed on Van Ness because they had Hutch. That's why BPA is a myth , it's BPA at a position of need

I think McMillian or Graham go a long way to turning things around , especially McMillian

Hypothetical here.... doubt it happens....
Say S. Sanders falls to 10.....
What would you do? Personally think he is better than all the QBs we have on this team combined granted that's not saying much..... I would entertain offers from teams possibly trading up.... if no takers.... He has all the NFL throws and he is accurate... just can't say he has the it factor... like I saw in Burrow against TX... really never been tested against the college elite.... Basically his decision to follow dad hurt his resume

Heard it. I’ll believe it when Loomis does it.

If he's there at 10, pass. Trade down or take BPA who is not a QB. With this being supposedly a weak QB class, go with our current QBs next year and focus on other positions that need to be addressed.

So it's a weak QB class... I agree but Sanders is not a weak QB....

I don't trust him. And his record at Colorado was sketchy at best. No doubt he's talented but winning in the NFL is another matter entirely. And I'd rather not deal with the meddling that will no doubt happen with Deion.

 

[saintfan1972]

A lot we need, but if the top guys are gone I would prefer the safety Starks than a edge there. We are not good at all at the safety spot and need an infusion of good talent there.

 

[LetsGetWaffles]

BPA. We can use players at every position and we need some great players on the roster. I would prefer it not be a RB, TE, or WR.

I agree you w you w not wanting a RB or TE in the 1st, especially if we’re top 10, but why not WR? We desperately need a true WR1 who can stay healthy bc we have nothing beyond Olave and Shaheed. Also, we’re going to be in the market for a new QB by 2026 season, whether through FA or draft, and having that big boy in there like McMillan is a QBs best friend.

Jalen Milroe, QB, Alabama.

Kliff Kingsbury has picked his QB of the future… and that future starts now in New Orleans.
