Who Will the New Orleans Saints Target in the 2025 NFL Draft?

[@dparke70]

Man I have to give credit where it’s due. Penning was our biggest worry going in to the year and in a year of catastrophic injuries on offense he started the entire year. With a full season under his belt hopefully he only gets better.

[@1001011011010]

If you look at our biggest needs, it's on defense. It's easy to forget given all the injuries, but our WRs include Olave, Shaheed...and if we can hold onto MVS...our receiver room sounds pretty competent. If we keep Helaire, Kendre, Kamara...our RB room seems competent. Maybe you can fill something on offense like interior o line, but our defense needs help.

[@KermitTFYT]

Raider fans have no say in what Saints need.

[@1001011011010]

@KermitTFYT I'm not a Raiders fan lol Is this because I've tried to be realistic about Carr vs Rattler? Like listen, I get people wanna tear everything down but I don't think that's gonna happen realistically. I suspect we will clear a good bit of cap, but I doubt we will tear it down completely.

[@Chelle87999]

You’re my favorite saints podcast ♥️ you should cover Daboot Tragedies too

[@JaeLurk]

Tre Harris would be a Homerun Day 2 pick for the saints, He's a 6'3 210 Pound physical Wideout and a Louisiana Native. He also had a 1,000 Yard rec Yard season even while dealing with injuries, but those Injuries could be a problem in his future

[@JamesSkrmetta]

Yeah he's a serious prospect to look at for the Saints

[@geoffhoutman1557]

Mickey's ears just pricked up when you said "injuries"

[@KTthaSouthernGent22]

I would have to draft Harris, a Louisiana kid playing for his home state.

[@dag7584]

Given the saints philosophy and past several draft picks of OL/DL I think you have to with Graham given how obvious the inability of stuffing the run up the middle has been for this team since 2021. Also need a safety/WR in round 2 and 3. And there’s still the possibility of us giving Paulson Adebo a new contract extension

[@KermitTFYT]

Paulson is done. His knee is done.

[@KermitTFYT]

Cam Skattebo

[@NolaNerd]

He is the one player I want the most.

[@DavidSmith-en4lq]

Hopefully we can get him on day 2

[@toddlee4457]

He should be a first round consideration like jamyr Gibbs

[@gregorygerber9627]

​@@JamesSkrmetta fair enough, I'm praying for Graham like you. Looking forward to the off season content king as someone thats more interested in the narrative side of things

[@Notorious_M.I.D.]

Also, I love the shoutout for WalterFootball, I love reading their assessments and mocks each offseason

[@gregorygerber9627]

I would prefer multiple trade backs and amass huge amounts of picks. It would be possible to maybe get 12 - 15 rookies so they could hopefully shed some of the cap killing contracts and dead money. With a large influx of rookies the won loss record wouldn't be great in 2025 so maybe we could get Arch if he's coming out next year. P.S. Sign Vrabel now!!!!

[@subzer082]

I need either Michigan DT and or Malachi Starks S from GA.. The defense needs to be rebuilt in the interior and the back end

[@KTthaSouthernGent22]

I would love to take the following players at 9. Mason Graham T. McMillan Will Johnson Kelvin Banks

[@NolaNerd]

MASON GRAHAM AND CAM SKATTEBO

[@gregorygerber9627]

Skattebo right now is rated a 3rd to 4th round pick. I love him for the Taysum Hill role though.

[@KermitTFYT]

@@gregorygerber9627first time I’ve heard that. That kids a monster. I’d take him day 1-2. Letting that talent go is bone headed.

[@aloha1683]

Why isn’t Caesar Ruiz our backup Center? Would it makes sense to draft a Guard that can play either side and Ruiz can be the backup Center incase McCoys Groin explodes again?

[@Bandit9539]

Mason graham ⚜️

[@JamesSkrmetta]

[@theohsowavydarkskin1193]

Me personally I’m drafting a wr first pick. A big body wr that can go grab the ball. Olave route running, shaheed speed, and a wr like Tmac from Arizona or Luther burden

[@jeremiahanderson5925]

Luther burden shorter than olave bud

[@supakingkupa1523]

I’ve said it way before this video was made. The saints should NOT pass on Mason Graham if he is there at 9. Right on James glad we both feel the same way lol. Mason Graham is a beast he rarely has any weaknesses. Amazing talent watch his films if any of you haven’t. Finesse moves are crazy

[@JamesSkrmetta]

[@honeybadgersquad2680]

I think if mason, mcmillion, Carter, will, are not available we trade down and draft someone like Nick scourtin who is good at pass rush and run defense
