Mocking the Top 10 Picks in the 2026 NFL Draft!

I think that what we saw last year, again, especially in the second half of the year with Tyler Shuck, you should feel like, let's go give this another look.

Let's hope like hell that our offensive line stays healthy.

And while they don't have to be a playoff team, I think that if they're just able to build off of what we saw over the last two months of the year, the Saints are headed, I think, finally in the right direction to be able to build something stable up.

And they're not dealing with dead cap hell.

Up a bit, yeah.

I believe that Jordan Tyson from Arizona State is the best wide receiver I've watched in this class.

I think ultimately the hamstring issues that he's been dealing with for what's been going on.

This feels like he's been dealing with this for six months.

right five six months that he's been dealing with a nagging hamstring that's kept him from testing right there's really not a lot of clarity on what the recovery timeline is to my knowledge I don't think that he's got any like scheduled operations to come like I don't and I don't think that we've seen anything that hints at him or his team believing that that's going to be a necessity for him to be ready for his rookie season either so under that shroud of kind of confusion with Tyson I

I think I kind of, I walked him back a little bit to the middle of the first round.

And if a guy like Tyson is not going to be a kind of take him with a bullet because he's healthy and he's ready to contribute right now, the most steady pick I think you can make if you're Kansas City and you want a wide receiver would be Carnell Tate, right?

I don't necessarily know that he's going to be T. Higgins, right, at the next level.
