With the 9th Pick in the 2025 draft, who should the Saints select? (merged) (12 Viewers)

[St. Widge]

Technically he was at 10. But when almost half of the OGs picked in the Top 10 pan out doesnt sound like a position of automatic exclusion to me.

But I would agree you better be darn certain if you are going to take such a big risk.

Which is why it would be a major risk to draft an OT that your project to move to OG that high. Given that Campbell was a highly rated prospect coming out of high school, I doubt that he has ever played OG and I don't recall him playing OG at LSU. It seem likely he could make the transition, but that's a lot of risk at #9.

And as has been mentioned, if you think he is an OG, you better be really sure he's a HoF Guard or an perennial All-Pro.

I agree. I’d rather draft a guard to play guard in Rd2 or Rd3 than draft a tackle to play guard in Rd1.
