Re: NFL Mock Draft 2025

I am following along and learning this new crop of rookies. I feel like we need to address the O line early on day two. We need a top clutch WR in the early rounds too. We've got to address CB too. Also, we need numbers on the D line too but not as much since we signed a new NT.

As of now, I’d say OL,CB,WR are tops as far as immediate impact players. FA can change that of course.

This is my mock draft I did with a trade down scenario from 9 to 16 and 47 pick.


16-Jahdae Barron
CB Texas

40-Donovan Jackson
OG Ohio State

47-Isaiah Bond
WR Texas

71-Mason Taylor
TE LSU

93-TreVeyon Henders..
RB Ohio State

112-Antwaun Powell-R...
EDGE Virginia Tech

131-Demetrius Knight ...
LB South Carolina

184-Gerad Christian-Li...
OT Oregon State

I believe it’s possible Demetrius Knight could pass up Werner on the depth chart and eventually can take over Demario’s spot when he hangs it up

I'm keeping this draft for now. Didn't do the full 7 round bc I have no idea who we'll draft late and what picks we'll use to trade up.

I do love the first 4 picks though.

Re: NFL Mock Draft 2025

I have a simple wish list:

Don't trade up in the 1st round, at least not enough to cost a future 1st round pick (unless it is only one future 1st rounder and its for a generational QB, which I don't see this year).

Don't draft a TE in the 1st round, the transition from college to pros at TE is too unpredictable, too few great TEs come from the 1st round, too many come from the middle rounds, its NEVER smart to use a 1st round pick on a TE.

Don't draft a RB in the 1st round, their careers are short and unpredictable, and with our oline and passing games issues even a great RB would struggle. Plus so many great RBs come from round 2-4. And we already have so much invested in the position with Kamara's foolish contract. This isn't a league where you have a RB $12 million to split carries and invest a high 1st round pick in another to split carries.

Obviously there are other niche stupid things we could do like trade our 1st round pick for CMC or draft a punter in the 1st, but basically I am not a scout and if they make a good faith effort to pick a QB, WR, OT, DL, LB, or CB who was expected to be drafted in the 1st round and attended a university that isn't known for its quaint liberal arts program I am ok with it.

UPDATE: Also please don't draft a 1st round pick with a troubling injury history in college.

All eyes on Jeff Ireland & his scouting team.

You gotta nail this draft. No whiffs, no projects, no wasted picks (Trautman, Turner, Davenport, Ian Book).

Saints need young talent.

This is one of the most reasonable posts I believe I have ever seen from you. Are you actually Bako? Yes, there are still touches of Bakoism there, but much more sublime.

Re: NFL Mock Draft 2025

Cam Ward put out a statement saying it would be a dream come true to play for the Saints.

Send #9, Carr, Olave, and a future 2nd.
