The Saints Squad Show dives deep into the New Orleans Saints' potential draft strategy, centering on a bold hypothetical: what if the Saints pass on top-tier edge rushers like Bain, Reese, and Bailey, and instead select Jordan Tyson at No. 8? The panel argues that Tyson—despite not being a polished route runner—offers a rare blend of raw athleticism, fearless mentality, and playmaking ability that could instantly transform the Saints' offense. Lance Moore and Ross Jackson praise Tyson’s ability to make 'sick' catches under pressure, his 'I'm better than you' confidence, and his potential to thrive alongside Chris Olave. They emphasize that Tyson’s versatility—playing outside, in the slot, or even flexing into the backfield—makes him a perfect fit for Kellen Moore’s offense. The discussion then shifts to day-two edge rushers, with Keron Crawford, Zion Young, and Malachi Lawrence highlighted as high-upside, versatile options. The episode also explores the Saints’ historical tendency to draft second-round defensive backs and their potential to trade up for Keontae Scott or D'Angelo Ponce. Ultimately, the show argues that the Saints are in a unique position to build around their quarterback and make a high-impact, high-ceiling draft with a mix of elite talent and smart value picks.
Jordan Tyson is the ideal No. 8 pick if top edge rushers are gone, offering unmatched playmaking ability and a fearless mentality that fits Kellen Moore’s offense.
Tyson’s versatility allows him to thrive as an outside receiver, slot weapon, or even a backfield threat—making him a dynamic, multi-dimensional weapon.
The Saints should consider trading up in rounds two or three to secure Keontae Scott or D'Angelo Ponce, both of whom fit their historical pattern of drafting elite second-round defensive backs.
Keron Crawford and Zion Young are high-upside day-two edge rushers with rare versatility, capable of both pass-rushing and coverage, making them ideal fits for Brandon Staley’s scheme.
The Saints’ draft capital gives them the flexibility to make aggressive moves, especially with five picks between 132–190, allowing them to close gaps and target higher-probability players.

Jordan Tyson: The No. 8 Solution
“I'm better than you, and there's nothing you can do about it. You can try your best. You can put two guys on me. Whatever you think is going to work on your end, cool, but it ain't gonna work. I'm going to outwork you and I'm going to figure out a way to not only beat you, but to make you look bad while I'm doing it.”
Tyson’s Impact on the Offense
Experts argue that Tyson’s arrival would create a terrifying receiving tandem with Chris Olave, elevate Jawan Johnson’s role, and allow the offense to build around the quarterback with confidence.
Day-Two Edge Rusher Options
With top edge rushers off the board, the panel evaluates Keron Crawford, Zion Young, and Malachi Lawrence as high-upside, versatile second-day picks with strong fit potential for the Saints’ defense.
Trading Up for Keontae Scott & D'Angelo Ponce
The discussion shifts to the Saints’ potential to trade up in rounds two or three to secure Keontae Scott or D'Angelo Ponce, both of whom fit the team’s historical trend of drafting elite second-round defensive backs.
“I'm better than you, and there's nothing you can do about it. You can try your best. You can put two guys on me. Whatever you think is going to work on your end, cool, but it ain't gonna work. I'm going to outwork you and I'm going to figure out a way to not only beat you, but to make you look bad while I'm doing it.”
“Jordan Tyson has the athleticism. He has the speed. He has the hands. He doesn't seem to be scared at all in any situation in a football game, big plays and big games go to him when everybody in that stadium, including all 11 guys on the defense know that the ball's going to him still makes plays.”
“the ability to be able to be a little bit more aggressive. They solve the biggest question marks on their football team at quarterback, at tackle, at one of the edge rusher spots. a couple of starting corners. They have a top wide receiver. So if you're looking now to go and try to advance any of those positions, I say go and be aggressive.”
