Final mock draft! Så er der draft dagen kommet. Natten til fredag vælger den 32 NFL deres næste spillere. Saints vælger som nummer 9 – hvis de ikke trader op eller ned. Noget som holdet aldrig før har gjort.
Det er faktisk også første gang siden 2008, hvor Saints valgte defensiv tackle Sedrick Ellis som nummer 7 overall.
Men hvem vælger Saints med det, 9. overall pick? Her er nogle bud fra forskellige eksperters final mock drafts.
NFL.coms Daniel Jaremiah: Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia

There’s a lot of talk about the Saints drafting a quarterback at No. 9, but I think they’ll address that position in the second round. They have an affinity for long, physical edge rushers — Williams fits that mold.
ESPNs Field Yates: Jalon Walker, Lineback / EDGE, Georgia

The Saints could go in a lot of directions, though I get the sense in talking to people around the league that quarterback likely isn’t one of them. The team must get younger and more explosive up front on defense as it moves into a new scheme under coordinator Brandon Staley. Walker is a hybrid player who played more snaps as a stand-up linebacker than edge rusher at Georgia, but he flashed excellent acceleration and juice when rushing the passer. I wouldn’t rule out an offensive tackle for the Saints here, either. Oregon’s Josh Conerly Jr. is a name to monitor if the boards falls in this way.
ESPNs Peter Schrager: Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia
I don’t see quarterback Shedeur Sanders as the pick here, despite all the assumptions when the Derek Carr injury news trickled out earlier this month. (Does anyone actually know what the story is there?)
Instead, I see the Saints with one of the early “wow” picks of Round 1, grabbing an elite defender who’ll carry the torch from Cameron Jordan for the next decade.
NFL.coms Lance Zierlein: Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia
TRADE! Med Colts tilbage til pick 14
The Saints need to find fresh, young talent on the edge. Still just 20 years old, Williams is an ascending player who may require some patience as he keeps growing into his frame and game.
NFL.coms Charles Davis: Armand Membou, OT, Missouri
This could easily be where QB Shedeur Sanders goes. I’ve already said I would be pounding the table for him in the draft room. Instead, though, the Saints tap Membou to take over at right tackle.
Bucky Brooks: Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
The talented technician would give the Saints a blue-chip CB1 to feature in a zone-based system that places a premium on “vision-and-break” playmakers.
Gulkluds Jakob Graversen: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
Det er 53 år siden, at New Orleans Saints har taget en quarterback i første runde og stimen fortsætter, selvom der er tvivl om Derek Carr i 2025-sæsonen. I stedet vælger Saints den mest imødesete receiver i draften i Tetairoa McMillan. McMillan er tidligere basket-spiller og det ses tydeligt i hans spillestil. McMillan er en fysisk imponerende receiver, som har sine forcer i nærduellerne, hvor han er uhyre stærk.
