⚜️WEEKLY POLL QUESTION⚜️
What do you want the #Saints to do in the first round of the #NFLDraft?
— Canal St. Chronicles (@SaintsCSC) April 1, 2025
After 458 votes, staying at pick #9 won with 42% of the vote. Remaining at No. 9 of course wouldn’t cost the Saints anything, but they may miss the chance to get some of the players on the top of their draft board.
There is no real consensus on who the Saints may draft at #9, as players mocked to them range from edge rusher Shemar Stewart of Texas A&M to tight end Tyler Warren of Penn State. However, if they move up, they may get a chance to draft someone like defensive tackle Mason Graham or even Travis Hunter. Moving up this far would be a risk given the some of the holes the Saints still need to fill on the roster. So, giving up a haul of draft picks to move up a few spots may not be the best plan.
Staying at #9 would be the safest option, but if the Saints do not pick the right player, they would miss out on another chance at a star, or the opportunity to acquire additional draft capital by moving down which is something I think that they really cannot afford to do with the needs on their roster.
