Show notes & transcript
Jordyn Tyson is priced at pick 80 — the 30-third receiver — for a team that just handed him the biggest target vacancy in football, and he hasn't run a full-speed NFL route yet.
The knowns: New Orleans took him eighth overall — the highest-drafted Arizona State player in 50 years, per NFL.com. The college resume is real and complicated: a thousand-yard 20-24, then a hamstring that ended his final year early, per NFL.com. That hamstring followed him into spring — he was limited through the offseason program, and head coach Kellen Moore said the plan was deliberate workload management, per RotoWire in June. Tyson himself says it feels amazing, per Pro Football Network.
The situation: Chris Olave just caught a hundred passes on a hundred 56 targets — and the Saints traded Rashid Shaheed to Seattle, which leaves the second receiver job open by design. The reporting is unanimous that Tyson was drafted to take it, per Pro Football Network — a second-year Kellen Moore offense with a top-10 pick invested in the job. What that translates to in targets, no depth chart can tell you.
The honest part: a top-10 pick with a soft-tissue spring is the exact profile markets price on emotion — and nobody, including us, knows which side September lands on. We don't project rookies; we'll tell you what's real in October.
Watch: his first full padded practice, and the week-one snap count — a clear number-two role makes this price a floor, not a ceiling. He's one of your guys? This show covers your whole roster — every player, every week, all season.
