Realistic would be reaching for an edge rusher like Faulk or the UCF guy at 8. I think they’re both solid but would be such a reach to go top ten. I can’t think of anything else that would piss me off more that seems realistic.

Or moving up to draft Bain would be really stupid imo.

Trading up for anyone in this draft with mayyyyyyybe the exception of Bailey or Reese.

Arguably, when healthy.

I coming to see that both Bailey and Reese are tremendous athletic talents, but pretty much one dimensional players at this point and in the case of Reese maybe for the foreseeable future. Now the good thing is their one dimension is elite pass rushing which the Saints really need, but do you draft a pass rusher with little to no ability in run support with more complete well rounded players likely still on the board.

For me I talk Bailey over Reese but I have a hard time taking either if Delane, Downs, Love or maybe even Styles are on the board. I wouldn't hate either Reese or Bailey but at 8 I kind of want a player that is on the field for 3 downs.

I agree completely. I’m def not looking to trade up in this draft. To be honest if someone was willing to cough up a next years first or high second this year I’d prob be willing to move down 5-7ish spots.

They will trade this year and the next draft class to move up one spot an unknown 6' 7" chiseled specimen that can do a double backflip and land on their feet.

Championship bound.

Worst case scenario is us trading up for anything. I rather move up with our third to bottom second or early third for a few prospects I like that may fall to that area.

I think Mickey is primed to package those 4th's and 5th's to move up.

2 late 4th's to get to the top of the 4th round.

2 mid early 5th's to get to the late 4th.

After using all 9 pick in 2025 I doubt he keeps all 8 in 2026.

All of his injuries in his history are unrelated to each other, as far as I know.

Knee
Collarbone
Hamstring

So why do they concern people so much?

Multiple instances of this.

In fact it's so bad that he reinjured them before the combine and missed all workouts and had to cancel his pro day and some of his team visit work outs.

When you have a top 8 pick in the NFL draft you have to get a player that can be on the field for you.

I have a vision of the Zion Williamson of the NFL when I see Jordyn Tysons' name. And apparently NFL executives and trainers have similar concerns.

I agree, Tyson is a great prospect, but I think he’s not worth the gamble until the teens or early 20’s.

Yeah i was just discussing this with my friend. Drafting a G/C high wouldn't really bother me.

#8 - (WR)Jordyn Tyson (too much risk with the injury history.)


The closer I get to draft day, the more I'm hoping we end up with Tyson.

Man, you need to explain this hard on for Jordan Tyson. I just don't get it. I watched quite a few of his games the past 2 seasons. He's fine. But I wouldn't want to pick him in round 1, let alone, pick 8.

Based on your posts you are a really negative person. I hope your life gets better bud.

I wanna say he performed his best against top teams. That may have impressed NFL scouts. I think he is a very good WR with an injury history. The teams obviously have much more info on his medicals than we do. This draft is pretty weak overall though. In most drafts, I don't think he sniffs top 10. But in this one, he may.
