Saints Pick Tyson at 8: Offense or Defense?

0:00It's April 21st. This is NFL News today, powered by AI tracking teams, players and standings. The New Orleans Saints sit at pick number 8 in the NFL draft, and wide receiver Jordan Tyson from Arizona State is emerging as a top choice too. Boost their offense. They've hosted top 30 visits with other receivers, like Omar Cooper Jr. KC. Concepts the own, and Carnell Tate, but Buzz is building around Tyson to pair with Crystal Lava in Kellen Moore's scheme. Jeff Duncan from Nola.com has the Saints grabbing Tyson right at number 8 in his latest mock draft. He figures they'll stay put instead of trading up, given the thin elite talent and their roster needs in year 2, under Moore. Teams worried about Tyson's injury passed at first, but deeper digs have eased those fears. Folks see him thriving inside or outside with a full route tree, ready to light up defenses alongside Lava. Now it's down to offense or defense, with cornerback delaying or Miami edge rusher, Ruben Bain also in play.

1:01Bain might not fit their 3-4 scheme perfectly, leaving Tyson as the offensive firepower option. Saints GM, Mickey Luma's holds all the cards here at 8. Either way, they land a stud who pushes them toward contention.
