With the 9th Pick in the 2025 draft, who should the Saints select? (merged) (65 Viewers)

[SweetT]

I see a lot of names being thrown around that won’t be on the board at #10.
Have to be realistic

We do need guards, but at 10 there are none. Best hope is if Campbell drops then there has been talk of him sliding to guard in the NFL. IDK. I don't trust us picking Edge rushers. That's been a flop lately. I think the safest pick would be the safety Starks from Georgia. Big need at safety and would be one of the BPA at that spot.
There is the tackle from Texas, but that still doesn't address the guard spot. Penning isnt great, but that would be giving up on him at this point. And he has played every snap this year, so I think we have bigger needs than tackle.
I like Jeanty, but at this point bigger needs right now.

Who can you get at 10 that you can't get later. The rb from Boise st. is not a bad choice esp if he has a Derrick henry type game, but if the draft is deep at the piece of work then what.

 

[play action]

Yeah position you piece of work spell check.

 

[Jesse Custer]

We need a guard and center, badly. Then DT, WR and S....potentially a LB in later rounds. Preferably in that order.

Guards and Centers are both deep positions in this draft and not worth a first rounder. Same with 0-tech DTs, safeties, and LBs. We need a playmaking offensive weapon and if Jeanty or Tet are there, they have to be the pick.

Mykel has exceptional bend? Which prospect are you watching?

Mykel has little to no bend. He plays incredibly upright and is stiff in his hips.

Abdul Carter for instance has exceptional bend.

Incorrect, Mykel has exceptional bend, but yes carters is even better.

We are not going to fix the salary cap in one season. I would trade this years 10th pick for a 1st and second next season, eat as much cap damage as possible, suck balls for 2025, and hopefully have a decent cap situation and a bunch of draft picks to build on starting in 2026

 

[Green-Ghost]

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?

Jackson dart if he is available. But, only if he can avoid the Ole Miss curse.

 

[saintfan1972]

Booker from Alabama is one of the highest rated guards, but I wouldn't use the 10th pick on him. Later in first for him. I could see us using a 2nd on a guard. Good picks at guard at that spot.

 

[2009ring]

Tyler Warren, let's give opponents someone to actually have to game plan around.

I can't find one single scouting report stating he has exceptional bend. Not one.

Ive watched every game breakdown and his highlights and couldn't find one single example of exceptional bend.

Can you provide me one? Maybe im missing something?

 

[saintfan1972]

Jackson dart if he is available. But, only if he can avoid the Ole Miss curse.

In the 1st? No way. Put what round you think he would go. People just throwing out names that's not even first round prospects. Dart not going til 3rd unless someone reaches.

Most scouting reports are trash, like the ones that said cam Jordan could never be a good pass rusher but yeah if I get some free time later I’ll try and find the video I watched of him last week and share

Appreciate it. No rush.

 

[LoE]

Trade back and try to get some extra picks for 2026/2027.

This team can't compete in 2025 due to cap.
